Mock Trial at Ohio State Program Travel

By The Ohio State University

Support Mock Trial at Ohio State's Travel Fund

Support Mock Trial at Ohio State's Travel Fund We are a dedicated group of undergraduate students who compete in mock trial competitions, where we simulate real legal cases and are evaluated by judges and attorneys. Through this program, we build confidence, sharpen critical thinking, and gain real-world skills that prepare us for careers in law, business, public service, and beyond. But competing comes at a cost. Each season, our team travels to multiple tournaments, often across state lines. Expenses include: tournament registration fees, travel and transportation, hotel accommodations, and case materials and team resources. These costs can quickly add up, and we are committed to ensuring that every student, regardless of financial background, has the chance to participate. Your support will: reduce financial barriers for team members, help us attend more competitions and improve our ranking, and provide educational opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to representing our school with pride and achieving our competitive goals. Competing in collegiate mock trial requires significant travel and preparation, and your support directly helps us manage the real, fluctuating costs that come with it. Here’s how the funds we raise will make a meaningful difference: <ol><li>Safe and Reliable Accommodations: Tournament weekends often require overnight stays. Funding allows us to book safer, more comfortable hotels that support team well-being and proper rest, so we can perform at our best in competition</li><li>Transportation & Rising Fuel Cost: Most of our tournaments require long-distance travel by car. Gas prices can vary widely throughout the season, making travel costs unpredictable. Your support helps us absorb these fluctuations and ensures we can reliably get to every competition.</li><li>Rental Vehicles When Needed: When personal vehicles aren’t available or practical, especially for larger groups or longer trips, we rely on rental vehicles. Funding helps cover these costs so that all team members can travel together safely and efficiently.</li><li>Tournament Registration Fees: Each competition charges entry fees that are required for participation. These fees add up quickly across multiple tournaments, and your support ensures we can continue competing throughout the season.</li><li>Case Materials & Team Resources: Success in mock trial depends on preparation. Funds go toward printing case packets, purchasing legal resources, and providing materials that help us practice effectively and refine our performances.</li></ol> Every dollar raised helps us remove financial barriers, adapt to changing costs, and focus on what matters most: competing, learning, and growing as a team.

Baseball Club Pledge Drive 2026

By Drew Elliott

None

The success of our program has been in large part due to the annual donations provided by family, friends and alumni of the program who help offset our $60,000 annual budget. Our $20,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses:<ul><li>Field Rentals: Our home field, Beekman Field, is now a parking lot and we have to travel up to 45 minutes away from campus to be able to play</li><li>Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags and training items</li><li>Travel for conference, Spring Training and post-season games</li><li>Hotel expenses, van rental fees and fuel</li><li>Umpire Fees</li><li>Home, away and alternate uniforms</li></ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 300 teams divided into 3 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Panama City, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has over a .700 win percentage over the past 25 seasons versus college teams and 19 playoff appearances over the past 13 seasons, including a 2023 National Championship for DII. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with annual win totals more than any other. Make your gift today! We sincerely appreciate your thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and go Buckeyes!

Support ALS Research at Ohio State

By The Ohio State University

Join me in raising funds for ALS research

Join me in raising funds for ALS research This past St. Patrick’s Day, we hit the 3-year milestone of Lori’s ALS diagnosis. Progression has been continuous, as expected with this dreadful disease. While there remains no cure, both primary doctors for Lori’s care (Dr. Stephen Kolb at The Ohio State University and Dr. Merit Cudkowicz at Massachusetts General Hospital) believe that there will be one day. It is their research efforts that have the potential. And it is targeted philanthropy that can directly accelerate progress. To those who donated last year: your donation allowed Dr. Kolb to map presymptomatic gene expression profiles in motor neurons in an animal model of motor neuron degeneration. Today, we kick off phase 2 of our efforts to support additional targeted research in Dr. Kolb’s lab. This new research is novel and potentially a game changer in the fight to stop ALS. In a recent sit down with Dr. Kolb at his lab, he shared a potentially breakthrough unfunded laboratory experiment using a unique piglet model of motor neuron degeneration. This work aims to identify gene expression changes in motor neurons before degeneration occurs, a critical but poorly understood phase of ALS. The experiment uses advanced spatial transcriptomics techniques (ie. measurement of expression levels of genes) to pinpoint early molecular signals that could become future therapeutic targets. A philanthropic contribution of at least $15,000 would enable this experiment to move forward by generating essential preliminary data. These results would significantly strengthen future applications for larger NIH grants, helping sustain and expand ALS research during a period of uncertain federal funding. With your help, research could begin shortly after funds are received, with meaningful progress within 6 months and full results expected within a year. Every dollar donated goes directly to Dr. Kolb’s efforts. No monies are taken by credit card fees or by the University. Direct dollars having direct impact. Early-stage support can play a decisive role in advancing ALS research and bridging critical funding gaps. Lori fights each day with grace and strength. Regardless of outcome, we will make a difference for others. Thanks for being there with us on this journey.

Bonner Chair in Lung Cancer Research, Co-Director of the Translational Therapeutics Program, Past President of The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). About Breath of Hope Ohio The “Breath of Hope Ohio” Gala was started by Sandy and Mark Lomeo after Mark was diagnosed with lung cancer in April 2014. They were surprised to discover the lack of funding for lung cancer as compared to many other types of cancer. They decided to raise money by having a dinner gala. They formed a steering committee (created by Annie Cacciato) to advance their cause. Fundraising efforts from the event support “Blue Beautiful Skies” Fund to directly benefit the Thoracic Oncology Department at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) for awareness, research, new treatments and hopefully a cure. Presently, lung cancer has a dismal survival rate. It kills more people per year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. In fact, lung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer. Given the poor survival rates of lung cancer, your help is needed. Please, support “Breath of Hope” and its mission by either attending the upcoming event or by making a donation that is meaningful to you. Everyone Deserves a Breath of Hope.

Support military-connected students through scholarship funds and program dollars. There are 2,300+ Buckeye Military Community Members enrolled at Ohio State. Transitioning from military to student life can be a significant change. Many veterans face challenges that are far different from traditional students as they continue their service. The Military Community Advocate (MCA) Program bridges veterans to resources that ensure academic and professional success. This program is open to members of the Buckeye Military Community, including active-duty, guard, reserve, veterans, ROTC members, and military dependents. Our advocates are scholarship recipients that serve in 35+ areas across main and branch campuses. Advocate Details<ul><li>Our advocates are scholarship recipients that serve in 35+ areas across main and branch campuses.

Support the Competitive Cheer Team at Ohio State

By Competitive Cheer Team

Thank you for standing behind our 48 hard-working athletes, our four dedicated coaches and the entire Ohio State University Competitive Cheer Program.

Thank you for standing behind our 48 hard-working athletes, our four dedicated coaches and the entire Ohio State University Competitive Cheer Program. Competitive Cheer Team The Ohio State University Competitive Cheer Team is a dedicated and competitive team that represents Ohio State. Our team diligently practices throughout the fall and spring semesters, focusing on enhancing our tumbling and stunting skills. While we participate in various performances and competitions throughout the season, our ultimate goal is to excel at Nationals. NCA College Nationals, held annually in Daytona, Florida, brings together college teams from across the nation, all competing for the title of National Champion. In April, our team will make the journey to Daytona, once again, to showcase our skills and compete on the national stage. This past season we made history by bringing two teams to Daytona! We brought not only our traditional team, but we entered a brand new division, Spirit Rally! This was a monumental step in our program! Not only did our Spirit Rally team pioneer the way for Ohio State Competitive Cheer, but they killed it with a Top 5 placement! With the great success of our program we now have our largest team ever with 48 athletes and 4 coaches! This expansion to our program has also come with many expenses. We welcomed 18 rookies this year, causing us to well exceed any number of athletes we have previously had in our program. As we navigate the expenses and logistics for our large program this season, we are reaching out for your support to help us raise the necessary funds for our program. Throughout a normal season, we incur numerous expenses that would be impossible to cover without the generosity of our supporters. Being a self-funded team, we heavily rely on fundraising efforts and the kindness of donors like you to make our growing aspirations a reality. Your generous donations will contribute to various aspects of our team, including practice wear, competition uniforms, bows, music fees, NCA camp, choreography costs, competition registrations, Nationals expenses, travel arrangements, hotel accommodations, shuttle rentals, groceries during our time in Florida and even our end-of-season banquet. We encourage you to consider supporting not only your athlete on our team but also the team as a whole. Every donation, regardless of size, plays a crucial role in our ability to function as a program. We sincerely appreciate each individual donor, recognizing that without your support, our season would not be possible. Whether you have a personal connection to a member of our team through coaching, high school cheering, family ties or if you are one of our valued alumni, your help is invaluable to us. Thank you for standing behind our 48 hard-working athletes, our four dedicated coaches and the entire Ohio State University Competitive Cheer Program. Your support means the world to us as we aim for success this season and proudly represent The Ohio State University. Go Buckeyes!

Support Breast Cancer Care and Research at The Spielman Center

By OSUCCC – James

Join us in giving today, so that Erika Bray and others like her will have a bright future to look forward to.

Join us in giving today, so that Erika Bray and others like her will have a bright future to look forward to. OSUCCC – James At 37 years old, Erika Bray felt a lump in her breast. As a mother of two daughters, she assumed it was connected to breastfeeding a year prior. With no family history of cancer, that never crossed her mind. Bray has deep ties to Ohio State. It’s where she earned her undergraduate degree and met her husband as a freshman. Years later they had engagement photos taken at Mirror Lake. They had their daughters at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She didn’t hesitate turning to Ohio State for tests and was diagnosed with stage 3 HER2-positive breast cancer. The caregivers at the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center helped Erika understand her early breast cancer diagnosis, as most women don’t start getting mammograms until the age of 40. “I broke down and thought that was it. I was going to die and leave my young daughters without a mother. However, the nurses at the Spielman Center could not have been more supportive,” Bray says. “They told me, ‘you are going to be okay.’ They told me there is so much research and targeted treatments for the type of cancer I had.” She worked closely with medical oncologist Robert Wesolowski, MD, and surgical oncologist and clinical geneticist Doreen Agnese, MD, at the Spielman Center. Her care team considered the latest research and innovative treatments along with traditional care to give her a personalized treatment plan. Bray has participated in clinical trials to ensure that her journey can help others in the future. "I consider my whole care team at the Spielman Center my heroes. They saved my life,” Bray says. Bray celebrated five years cancer-free in June 2025. “I was told that if I had gotten this diagnosis five or six years earlier, it could have been a terminal sentence. That still haunts me,” Bray says. “We’re lucky that breast cancer research has come a long way and many breast cancers end in good long-life outcomes. It's still, unfortunately, killing many women and more are young woman under 40.” Research and targeted treatment are evolving at the Spielman Center every day. With the support of donors and advocates, life-saving treatments are accessible to all who need them. Erika Bray and others are reaching cancer- free milestones because of the generosity of Buckeye donors like you. Join us in giving today, so that Erika Bray and others like her will have a bright future to look forward to.

100 Years of Service and Community with Texnikoi Eng

By Ben Shiffer

Celebrate TNK's Centennial by Supporting TNK Students in the Humanitarian Engineering Program!

Celebrate TNK's Centennial by Supporting TNK Students in the Humanitarian Engineering Program! This past year marked a momentous occasion for Texnikoi; we celebrated our 100th anniversary! For a century, Texnikoi has been a cornerstone of hundreds of Ohio State alumni's experiences, fostering a legacy of excellence in service, leadership, and participation among engineering students. To celebrate this, we are fundraising for an endowment to directly support TNK undergraduate students that participate in the Humanitarian Engineering (HE) program. The HE program at Ohio State teaches students how to use science and engineering to tackle societal challenges by working closely with communities, focusing on sustainable development and hands-on, culturally informed experiences. Around a 1/5th of TNK members currently participate in the HE program and our own Co-advisor, Dr. Patrick Sours is the faculty lead for the program. Just this March, several TNK members participated in a service learning trip to Honduras to research and assist water filtration in areas without access to clean water. We've shared several of these photos above, as well as photos from a recent trip to Ghana. To share more information, we've invited Aaron Treglia, someone many of you already know! Hello TNK alumni! My name is Aaron Treglia, and I was a proud TNKer during my time at OSU—where I also had the honor of serving as President of Texnikoi nearly 10 years ago! Texnikoi was a huge part of my college experience, as I’m sure it was for many of you as well. The core pillars of Texnikoi—service, leadership, and participation—are essential in shaping well-rounded engineers and thinkers, equipping them to tackle the intricate challenges they’ll face in their careers. These pillars are still very much alive today, as Texnikoi continues to thrive as a student organization. One field that aligns closely with Texnikoi’s mission is Humanitarian Engineering (HE). HE at Ohio State is also a flourishing program, which includes a scholars program, a minor, the HE Innovation Lab, and a plethora of opportunities for students to get involved in addressing complex societal problems. I was fortunate to participate in the HE Scholars Program and complete the HE minor—experiences that led me to engage in a wide range of service projects both locally and internationally. HE offered me perspectives that I believe are rarely found within the standard engineering curriculum. Given the natural overlap between Texnikoi and HE, it’s no surprise that, like myself, there are students involved in both organizations. The HE endowment aims to provide dedicated funding to support students active in both groups, enabling them to participate more fully in Humanitarian Engineering efforts at Ohio State—whether through service trips, Capstone projects, or research initiatives. Additionally, the goal is to expand the connection between TNK and HE by encouraging more TNK members to get involved with HE. With that in mind, I invite you to consider donating to the HE endowment for TNK students. Your support will help strengthen and grow the collaboration between TNK and HE!

Meet Maddax Ranly and Berkley Zurn: Two Changemakers Taking On Cancer with Heart, Grit, and Buckeye Spirit This fall, Maddax Ranly and Berkley Zurn are taking a bold step toward their futures—and toward a cause that has captured their hearts. Maddax and Berkley are applying Early Decision to The Ohio State University, but their applications are more than just college essays and transcripts—they’re launching pads for something bigger. These two young adults are stepping up in a huge way to support The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, one of the nation’s top cancer research centers. Known simply as The James, this world-class facility at Ohio State is not just a hospital—it’s a beacon of hope. With more than 300 cancer subspecialists and a commitment to precision medicine, The James is rewriting the story of cancer treatment. Its researchers are pioneering immunotherapies, targeting the disease at the genetic level, and giving patients across the country real chances at real cures. Maddax’s connection to this mission is deeply personal and rooted in compassion. He has spent the last year serving as a big brother with Saving Amy to two incredible young boys, accompanying them to doctor appointments, tutoring them through school challenges, and simply showing up with laughter, games, and the kind of support every child deserves. He’s a steady hand and a big heart—someone who gives without question and leads by example. Berkley, equally dedicated, has logged countless hours volunteering in the community, finding meaning in service and impact in every interaction. As a legacy of the Buckeye Nation, Berkley is passionate to continue making OSU a great place to be and one that rises for her community. Together, these two friends have launched a heartfelt mission to “Mac Out Cancer”—raising awareness and funds for The James and the cutting-edge work happening there every day. Their goal? To rally support not just from their school or their town, but from all over the country. Because they believe—and they know—that cancer doesn’t stand a chance when passion, innovation, and community come together. As Maddax and Berkley turn their focus toward Buckeye Nation, they’re not just applying to a university—they’re stepping into a lifelong mission of leadership, service, and hope. And they’re inviting us all to join them. Because when two students from Arizona decide to change the world, you better believe they’re starting in Columbus. Support their campaign. Share their story. Help them Mac Out Cancer—one step, one smile, and one Buckeye at a time.

With the help of generous donors, we can keep the Bugmobile rolling so we can visit places to show scientists of tomorrow some of their opportunities today! Ohio State Entomology If today’s learner can be anywhere in the world, then why can’t today’s teachers? The Bugmobile is a one-of-a-kind collaborative project between Airstream and The Ohio State University. Two American icons from the Buckeye State, coming together to create something that has never been done. This groundbreaking creation was made possible when Airstream, an Ohio-based company operating for nearly a century, generously donated a 26-foot trailer shell to our project. Thanks to a pair of amazing and gracious alumni donors (who usually like to stay anonymous,) we were granted a fund that would allow us to have the interior of the trailer outfitted according to a concept and design by Jeni Ruisch, which was based on more than a decade of arthropod outreach work. Seniors in Agricultural Engineering at the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences then took Jeni’s design, and built a cardboard walk-through mock-up, in order to interact physically with the space. We consulted with the USDA during the build-out in order to create the first ever arthropod containment vehicle. This trailer was truly designed with bugs in mind from the ground up! The stellar design and installation of the entire handmade interior was executed beautifully by Grove City-based company Creative Mobile Interiors. The Bugmobile is a mobile combination of classroom, museum, zoo, and laboratory. We can load up the Airstream with learning and display materials ─and most importantly, live animals─ and take them to any locale. Imagine. Learning about pollinator anatomy and behavior in a fully stocked classroom, and then stepping directly outside into a working bee yard and orchard. Going on a field collecting trip in a remote location, and returning to the Bugmobile to identify your finds and broadcast them out to your learners, who can tune in from anywhere in the world. Identifying underserved communities around the state of Ohio, and bringing access to science and exposure to wildlife right to their front doors. Partnering with institutions like COSI and our world famous Columbus Zoo, along with others like 4-H and YMCA, to bring our collection and experts out into the community. Operating this one-of-a-kind vehicle is a dream come true for someone with a passion for welcoming others into the world of Entomology, but it also comes with quite a price tag! Gas, repairs, and yearly maintenance add up to create a considerable expense. Additionally, the Ohio State Insectary - where all of the Bugmobile Ambassador Animals live and thrive - is a real, live, working zoo and requires employees and equipment to maintain. While we do charge for our engagement in order to offset costs, we never seek to recapture our total investment, let alone make a profit. The idea is this: Those who want to have the Bugmobile visit their school or community center and can afford to pay for their bookings. Those who can’t afford to reimburse us are charged a lower or no fee! It’s a tale of Ohioans helping Ohioans spread science, love for creatures great and small, and most of all, fun! With the exploding popularity of the Bugmobile and Bug Boxes, comes increased use. With this, comes increased expenses. With the help of generous donors like you, we can keep the Bugmobile rolling so we can visit every place possible to show scientists of tomorrow some of their opportunities today! Please help us keep the Bugmobile rolling!

Please support the Ohio State Baseball Club Program and their quest for another playoff run! The success of our program has been in large part due to the annual donations provided by family, friends and alumni of the program who help offset our $60,000 annual budget. Our $20,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses:<ul><li>Field Rentals: Our home field, Beekman Field, is now a parking lot and we have to travel up to 45 minutes away from campus to be able to play</li><li>Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags and training items</li><li>Travel for conference, Spring Training and post-season games</li><li>Hotel expenses, van rental fees and fuel</li><li>Umpire Fees</li><li>Home, away and alternate uniforms</li></ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 300 teams divided into 3 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Panama City, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has over a .700 win percentage over the past 24 seasons versus college teams and 18 playoff appearances over the past 12 seasons, including a 2023 National Championship for DII. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with annual win totals more than any other. Make your gift today! We sincerely appreciate your thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and go Buckeyes!

Support for the Buck-I-SERV Program

By Buck-I-SERV

Buck-I-SERV is Ohio State's alternative break program that provides 30 trips per year to conduct weeklong service in communities world-wide.

Buck-I-SERV is Ohio State's alternative break program that provides 30 trips per year to conduct weeklong service in communities world-wide. Buck-I-SERV <a href="https://lead.osu.edu/community-engagement/buck-i-serv">Buck-I-SERV</a> is Ohio State University’s Alternative Break Program coordinated through the Office of Student Life’s Leadership and Community Engagement department. Beginning as a student initiative with a single trip in 2003, Buck-I-SERV has grown to provide over 1,000 trips serving alongside 150+ community partners in the past 23 years to over 30 states and 14 countries. Buck-I-SERV provides students with a challenging and engaging opportunity to lead and learn through direct service experiences. Over winter break 2025-2026, Buck-I-SERV facilitated nine trips to four states, Washington DC and two international locations for over 90 participants. Together, they collectively completed over 270 hours of service. Our alternative break participants supported community-based efforts focused on poverty alleviation, access to housing and resources, special needs youth, survivors of human trafficking, youth experiencing incarceration and more. Throughout their trips, students engaged in dialogue and reflection designed to prepare them to continue their commitment to service when they return to campus. <a href="https://lead.osu.edu/community-engagement/buck-i-serv/buckeye-funder">For more information about Buck-I-SERV and our impact, please visit our website</a>. How will my gift support the Buck-I-SERV Program? By giving to the Buck-I-SERV Program, your contribution will support our programmatic priority of increasing students' ability to participate in our alternative break trips by decreasing financial barriers. This priority is accomplished through two major efforts: <ul><li>Building and expanding our Student Access Fund to provide financial support to individual students participating in our trips</li><li>Subsidizing trip costs to increase the overall affordability and accessibility of our programs for all students</li></ul> On average, a domestic trip costs around $10,000 for Buck-I-SERV to facilitate. This cost includes all travel-related expenses, lodging, community partner program fees or donations, pre-trip events and trainings, trip supplies, all group meals during the trip and a small budget for activities. Buck-I-SERV is generously funded in part by the Student Activity Fee, which allows us to subsidize the cost of our trips for students by approximately 50%. However, we do rely upon student participant fees to cover remaining costs. For the 2025-2026 academic year, all domestic trip participant fees are $500. In an effort to address affordability, Buck-I-SERV launched our <a href="https://lead.osu.edu/community-engagement/buck-i-serv/financial-support">Access Fund </a>initiative in spring 2024. Through the Buck-I-SERV Access Fund, we are able to use gift/donor funding to cover up to 100% of individual students' trip participant fees. Our priority is decreasing barriers for students who may not be able to access our programming otherwise to empower them to take part in a mutually transformative service-learning experience both for the communities they serve alongside and themselves. Since the Access Fund was established, we have received over 150 applications from students seeking financial support to participate in our trips. We have been able to fully or partially fund many participants, but our current financial resources are not able to meet all our students' needs. In order to sustain the Access Fund and ensure that it is a resource for years to come, more funding is vital. Our ultimate goal is to raise $10,000 during this campaign which would allow us to fully fund participation in a domestic trip for 20 students (two full trips)! <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/45575/donate">Please help us reach our goal</a>! Any and all support is greatly appreciated and will directly impact student access. "The biggest takeaway was the importance of community. When volunteering at Foods and Friends I meet many new people each day from the Washington D.C. area. Each person I met was so unique and they all emphasized their love of serving and volunteering. I learned that Food and Friends rely on community members to volunteer to help continue their work. This really emphasizes the importance of community!

By Public Health Alumni Society

Make your gift today to assist us in filling this student need at the College of Public Health!

Make your gift today to assist us in filling this student need at the College of Public Health! Public Health Alumni Society In October 2024, we awarded 9 students professional association memberships at a variety of associations, including the American Public Health Association, the American College of Healthcare Executives, the American Statistical Association and more. Alumni members of our society board review every application to determine who will best utilize these resources. While we only gave out professional association memberships this year, we are hoping to expand our offerings next year to give out funds for travel to conferences as well. We are so grateful to the alumni community who helps make this opportunity possible. Thank you for your support in our work! Hear more from our past student recipients on the impact of these funds: “Being a member of professional associations has helped me to connect with fellow researchers working on similar topics and to get engaged in research discussions and career sessions. It also has given me a sense of belonging into a wider community of “public health in action” where researchers, policy makers and government officials come together in exchanging one’s knowledge and experiences to address public health problems. The memberships have also encouraged me to attend annual meetings, present my research (I have presented in APHA annual meeting the last two consecutive years), gather feedback and to further progress my research into research papers.” - Balaji, APHA “As a member of SRNT (Society For Research On Nicotine & Tobacco), I will be able to access interest-specific journals, network with professionals across the world, share my research, and keep up-to-date with the ever-changing tobacco research landscape. I am excited to grow as a trainee and a professional in the tobacco research space and membership to SRNT plays an important role in my development.” - Hayley, Society for Research on Nicotine & Tobacco “A professional membership aligns perfectly with my academic and career goals as a Ph.D. candidate in Epidemiology. It offers me a platform for continuous learning, networking, and skill development that will not only enrich my academic experience but also position me for success as a young professional in public health. I am excited about the potential benefits it can bring to my academic and career journey.” - Yun, Society for Social Work and Research

Street Medicine Fundraising

By The Ohio State University

None

About Us Established in 2023 by a group of OSU medical students, Street Medicine at Ohio State brings critical healthcare services directly to those experiencing homelessness, breaking down barriers to trust and access. Our teams deliver care, distribute essential supplies, and offer medical guidance within familiar environments, fostering trust and bridging the gap in traditional healthcare access. Our Work in Action In practice, our organization delivers healthcare to the unhoused population of Columbus via various outreach efforts, where our members and volunteers work alongside physicians. During our biweekly "Treats 4 the Streets" pop-up clinic at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, we address our patients' needs such as wound care, blood pressure management, and diabetes care. Additionally, we conduct weekly street runs to an encampment at Heer Park where we have the opportunity to provide longitudinal care to our patients. Through these efforts, we're able to regularly see 40+ community members and supply essentials such as wound care kits, naloxone, hand sanitizer, gloves, blankets and more. Our members also volunteer for organizations (such as Remote Area Medical) that share our mission of making healthcare more accessible to people experiencing homelessness. Where is the Money Going? Your donations will directly enhance OSU's Street Medicine program and will make a concrete impact on the health of our patients. Below is a non-exhaustive list of common supplies we purchase to distribute to our community: Medical Supplies • Bandages (assorted sizes, box of 280) –– $15-$20 • Hand Sanitizer (travel-sized, case of 48) –– $50-$70 • First Aid Kits (basic, bulk pack of 10) –– $100-$150 • Flashlights (with batteries, pack of 12) –– $30-$50 Hygiene Items • Toothbrushes & Toothpaste (travel-sized, bulk packs) –– $25-$30 • Baby Wipes (pack of 80, case of 12) –– $25-$40 Clothing and Warmth • Socks (thermal, bulk pack of 12) –– $20-$30 • Blankets (fleece, bulk pack of 12) –– $60-$100 Food and Water • Protein Bars (box of 48) –– $35-$50 • Bottled Water (24 pack, 16.9 oz bottles) –– $5-$10 Thank You! By donating to Street Medicine at Ohio State, you're improving the health of the unhoused population of Columbus while simultaneously fostering the growth of the next generation of healthcare workers. People experiencing homelessness make up an underserved community that faces complex obstacles when accessing medical care, and tearing down these barriers is very important to us; we're very fortunate for your contribution to this objective. Regarding our future plans, we're aiming to expand our clinics, collaborate with the community and partners on a comprehensive needs assessment, and potentially launch a 4th-year medical student elective rotation. This work is only possible with the hard work from our team and the generosity of our donors –– thank you for joining us in this vital mission to make healthcare accessible for all!

Our mission is to bring hope to the men and women diagnosed with lung cancer every day and raise funds to support the innovative research necessary for a cure.

Our mission is to bring hope to the men and women diagnosed with lung cancer every day and raise funds to support the innovative research necessary for a cure. Breath of Hope Ohio Breath of Hope Ohio Gala: 10 years of progress. Date: Saturday, May 17, 2025 | Time: 6:00 p.m. Lung Cancer Survivors' Reception: 5:15-6:00 p.m. Location: The Ohio Union, Archie M.

If you are still interested in attending, please email Dana Gramuglia at dana.gramuglia@osumc.edu If you are a lung cancer patient who is interested in attending the gala, please fill out the following form: <a href="https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b42MFK0w6O5DDqS">go.osu.edu/breathofhopeohioform</a> Featured speakers: David Carbone, MD, PhD Director of The James Thoracic Oncology Center, Barbara J. Bonner Chair in Lung Cancer Research, Co-Director of the Translational Therapeutics Program, Past President of The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). About Breath of Hope Ohio The “Breath of Hope Ohio” Gala was started by Sandy and Mark Lomeo after Mark was diagnosed with lung cancer in April 2014. They were surprised to discover the lack of funding for lung cancer as compared to many other types of cancer. They decided to raise money by having a dinner gala. They formed a steering committee (created by Annie Cacciato) to advance their cause. Fundraising efforts from the event support “Blue Beautiful Skies” Fund to directly benefit the Thoracic Oncology Department at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) for awareness, research, new treatments and hopefully a cure. Presently, lung cancer has a dismal survival rate. It kills more people per year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. In fact, lung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer. Given the poor survival rates of lung cancer, your help is needed. Please, support “Breath of Hope” and its mission by either attending the upcoming event or by making a donation that is meaningful to you. Everyone Deserves a Breath of Hope. Our mission is to bring hope to the men and women diagnosed with lung cancer every day and raise funds to support the innovative research necessary for a cure. <a href="https://breathofhopeohio.org/">Learn more on our website.</a> Join us in funding innovative research and programs that will save lives.

Support "THE" official Buckeye Men's football & basketball watch party club at Ohio State! Buck-I-Watch Who are we? Buck-I-Watch aims to create and grow a community for Ohio State sports fans by hosting socially responsible Buckeye football and basketball away-game watch parties. Our mission is to bring back to Columbus the same Buckeye spirit and camaraderie we all so passionately feel while packed into our home stadiums. We use this community to foster school spirit, introduce like-minded individuals, encourage new fandom, enliven the diehards, and ensure that no Buckeye ever has to watch another game alone! Check out our <a href="https://buckiwatch.rsvpify.com/?securityToken=WcIdBmZSEiVf8I8H4MKEWOQlwm27T0ju">website</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/buckiwatchosu/">Instagram page</a> and <a href="https://activities.osu.edu/involvement/student_organizations/find_a_student_org?i=a17831b3-8306-49d9-bf4d-7ccc68f1f47a&v=card&s=watch&c=Columbus&page=0">student organization page</a> on Ohio State's club directory! Why Donate? Your donations are especially important to us because, due to media and licensing restrictions imposed by the BIG 10 Conference, Buck-I-Watch hasn’t been provided the same funding opportunities as other student organizations at OSU. As a result, we have started this initiative with Buckeye Funder (an outreach platform specific to initiatives and groups in the Ohio State community) to raise our own money. Where will your donations go? Buck-I-Watch will primarily use your generous donations for the general operation of our watch parties. These expenses include food, giveaways, and the renting of unique venues to watch our Buckeyes. Additionally, Buck-I-Watch hosts multiple sporting events such as 3v3 flag football, basketball and volleyball tournaments throughout the year. Your donations will also go to organizing these events and compensating the referees who officiate them. Should we be so fortunate as to surpass our donation goal, Buck-I-Watch will fulfill a longtime dream to take our members on a weekend trip to a Buckeye football or basketball away game. These expenses would include ticket prices, transportation, and hotel stay.

Herb Asher Internships in Government

By The Ohio State University

We are raising funds in honor of revered emeritus professor Herb Asher. Funds will be used to provide Political Science majors with rewarding internships.

We are raising funds in honor of revered emeritus professor Herb Asher. Funds will be used to provide Political Science majors with rewarding internships. About Herb Professor Herb Asher is a beloved educator, mentor, and advocate for Ohio State Political Science students. Actively inspiring those around him today, his passion for teaching and dedication to his students’ success has shaped countless careers. Professor Asher didn’t just prepare students for the classroom; he championed their futures, guiding them to meaningful internships and careers that launched them into influential roles in government, policy, and beyond. Help honor his legacy Herb Asher remains an active supporter of Ohio State's mission, and this initiative reflects his lifelong dedication to student success. To honor his legacy, Ohio State alum Barry Gluck has generously pledged a matching gift to support internship opportunities for Political Science majors. Barry Gluck's generous matching gift honors Herb Asher's ongoing legacy as a living legend in the field of Political Science. Through this generous support, <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/45073/donate">any donation you make will be DOUBLED</a> with matching funds up to a total $25,000. That means that your donations could help us raise up to $50,000, which will be used to provide critical financial support for students pursuing internships at all levels of government. Many internships are unpaid, creating barriers for students without financial means. This initiative ensures that all students, regardless of background, can access these transformative experiences, paving the way for a diverse and dynamic future in public service. Your contribution, matched dollar-for-dollar by Barry Gluck, will help us sustain Professor Asher’s commitment to student success and make a lasting impact on the next generation of leaders. <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/45073/donate">Please make a gift today.</a> <blockquote> "Herb Asher was one of the first teachers that I met when I came to Ohio State University. He turned out to be a good friend as well as my Academic Advisor. Herb pushed, challenged, and supported my goal of going to Law School. His belief and support gave me the confidence that I carry with me to this day. Being able to contribute to and recognize Herb Asher for all his achievements is not only gratifying but has allowed me to publicly thank him for placing me on the road to success. Forever Grateful." - Barry Gluck</blockquote> <blockquote> "I first met Herb Asher when I became President of Ohio State in 1990. Herb was then considered the most prominent political scientist, particularly focusing on state and local government in Ohio and, certainly, as I worked so closely with him, I discovered that he had an uncanny ability to read the room and make the right political decisions on behalf of the university. When I returned for my second tenure, I discovered that Herb had not lost any of his commitment to the university and to the state, nor any of his ability. We worked together diligently on behalf of the university, and I think we all know that Herb developed a remarkable following among so many leaders in our state. At the same time, he influenced students over a number of generations to believe in the possibilities and opportunities of our political system. Herb is an Ohio treasure." - Gordon Gee</blockquote> Questions? Call our Engagement Center at <a href="tel:6142922281">(614) 292-2281</a>. Your gift may be eligible for a corporate match!

Celebrate Taylor's 5th Birthday

$25 raised from 1 gifts

Help us celebrate Taylor's 5th birthday by supporting NICU nurses at Ohio State!

Help us celebrate Taylor's 5th birthday by supporting NICU nurses at Ohio State! [[Amount Raised]] raised from [[Gifts Received]] gifts Five years ago our feisty, spicy, sassy and fierce little girl came into this world 3 months early, at 26 weeks weighing 1 lb 15 oz and 14 inches long. Taylor spent 100 days in the NICU at Ohio State. The first 6 months of her life she was on oxygen, and we had a lot to learn and navigate after coming home with all those cords. BUT on August 20th she turned 5 and is healthy and happy; you’d never know she had a rough start to life. We celebrate our little miracle baby girl and reflect on how blessed we are to be her parents and how blessed we are that we had this outcome on that scary day 5 years ago. We know things could’ve been a lot different, and we thank God everyday for the miracle little Wonder Woman we have today! In celebration of Taylor’s 5th birthday, we are raising funds to support the AMAZING NICU nurses at Ohio State! Rick and I credit these amazing individuals for helping get us through those 100 days. We had amazing support from our family and friends, but those nurses hold a special place in our hearts and are a part of our family. They eased our fears, walked us through all the things happening and helped raise our baby girl those first 100 days. We visited every day (sometimes twice a day) staying with her for hours. But every time we left Taylor, we knew she was in great hands and her nurses were going to love on her. When we finally got to bring Taylor home, there was a void in our lives that we didn’t get to see our nurses every day, but we kept in touch and almost 3 years later we were back with RJ. Returning to the NICU was comforting, especially when we saw so many familiar faces. We selected this fund, the Constance Woodward Scholarship Fund in Pediatric Nursing, at the College of Nursing because it provides scholarship support for graduate nursing students who focus on high-risk neonates. We LOVE our NICU nurses and could never pay them back for the amazing love and care they gave Taylor and the support they gave to Rick and I. <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/43195/donate">Make your gift today</a> and join us in paying forward for future NICU nurses that will care for babies like Taylor (and RJ).

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nanotechnology has been developing rapidly in recent years through the introduction of various structural designs of DNA origami/tile assemblies. However, studies of DNA origami cell interactions are limited due to the complexity of cell structures. Synthetic cells can be used for studies of individual cell functions with external control mechanisms. This project aims to design a reconfigurable DNA origami 3-arm nanostructure as the basic building block of a hierarchical nanomachine assembly. The team has designed a 3-arm structure with a uniform length of 50 nm for each arm. The structure is reconfigurable by switching the connection profile between the three arms to a single-stranded, double-stranded or cross-over connection. The reconfigurability of the 3-arm structure allows it to change the angle between arms, allowing the higher-order assembly to generate motion or ultimately change the structure's overall configuration. Future work for this project includes polymerization of the 3-arm structure and control of the system through reconfiguration. Potential applications of this nano-system include synthetic cell studies such as forming a contractile ring to assist in cell mitosis and membrane deformation in endo-/exocytosis. This structure can also be used for future research in non-cellular systems to create adaptive membranes for ionic channel. The OhioMOD student biomolecular robotics team has been working hard on this research project with the goal of presenting at the annual Biomolecular Robotics Competition, <a href="https://biomod.net/">BioMOD</a>. We are a team of eight undergraduate students advised by Dr. Carlos Castro and two graduate students in the <a href="https://mae.osu.edu/nbl">Nanoengineering and Biodesign Lab</a> at Ohio State. The pandemic shut this student organization down, but our team is excited for the opportunity to create a website, video and presentation based on our high-level research project. We are excited to share these deliverables at the 2024 BioMOD Jamboree this November. Support through this campaign will go to sending five of our members to Japan, as well as future experimentation with polymerizing our three-arm structure for synthetic cell applications.

Welcome to The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Greater Cincinnati's Buckeye Funder page for the 1st year student Endowment Memorial Scholarship! Our mission since 1966 has been to pay forward the opportunities our Ohio State education has afforded us. To support this mission, we have established two scholarship funds—the Junior & Senior Endowment and the Freshmen Alumni Scholars Program (ASP)—to provide these opportunities to current and future Buckeyes from the Cincinnati area. Since 1981, our scholarship funds have supported local students with over $157,000 in scholarships, including $47,400 awarded to 29 students over the past six years. For the '24-'25 academic year, we are proud to announce two new scholarship recipients who will receive a combined $6,000. This spring, we were thrilled to announce a major development in our scholarship program. We are launching a fundraising campaign to convert our Freshmen ASP scholarship into a long-term endowment which will support Freshman and Sophomores. This decision ensures that our mission of paying it forward will continue for generations to come. Our goal is to raise $100,000 over the next five years to achieve endowment status.

Over 18 years ago, Jodi and I held a Halloween party for fun. The following year we turned it into a charity event to help a friend. Over the years, we have decided to call it “Friends helping Friends” because that is what friends do when you need help. We started our charity event to help raise money to support ALD (Adrenoleukodystrophy), Diabetes and Cancer Research. Over the years, several family members, friends and colleagues have battled and fought a variety of different diseases. Unfortunately, we have lost several family members, friends and colleagues way too early. With the help of many people, we have raised and donated over $225,000. We all know someone who is fighting the fight or has been directly impacted with some form of disease. It will continue to take an army to win these battles, and we could not have done what we have done without the help and support of our family, friends and colleagues. There are so many great causes out there and thank you for what you do to make a difference. The medical advancement over the years is because of the generosity of everyone who gives and helps with the different causes. We will continue to do our part until we find cures and help people live a better life. Our Halloween event has no expenses! Everything is donated and 100% of the dollars raised go to charity. This year we are asking for donations to be made to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) in honor of the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer. Since moving back to Ohio, Jodi and I have had the great pleasure and honor to meet and work with a lot of new friends involved with the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer. <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/42847/donate">Your support and generosity are greatly appreciated.</a> We cannot thank each of you enough for making this a successful event. “Friends helping Friends.” Jodi and Mike Lowe

Join us for a night of drinks & cheeseburgers to celebrate the life of Jimmy Buffett featuring music from the Parrots of the Caribbean Tribute Band!<ul><li>Date: Friday, August 23</li><li>Time: 6 PM (party starts); 8 PM (band begins)</li><li>Location: Woodland's Backyard | 668 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH 43215</li></ul> I remember clearly the first time I heard a Jimmy Buffett song. It was 1980, I was a freshman at Purdue University and I was trying to go to sleep. From about midnight to 3 a.m., really loud music blared from the room across the hall with a group of seniors screaming, “I don’t know where I’m a-gonna go when the volcano blows!” It’s only a 3:35 minute song, but they managed to play “Volcano” over and over for three hours, and that somehow started a 40+ year connection for me to Jimmy Buffett. That song became personal. I saw him play for the first time live at Purdue in 1983. My memory says that there was no Coral Reefer Band at the time. It was just Jimmy and his guitar. I remember he pulled a student up on stage who claimed he could play one of the songs with him and he did. That was cool. Over the years I saw him play wherever I was – California, Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, Buckeye Lake, Paris (France) and Red Rocks in Colorado. It was and always will be the music that transports me from whatever mood I am in to a better one, a happier one. I became a fan. About two years ago during a routine physical that I had been putting off for years, I found out that I had prostate cancer. I had no symptoms other than elevated PSA levels. This just could not be! But it was and life became a bit of a blur. Fortunately, I was guided to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) by a close friend who had received similar news a few months before me. I had done the normal scans, but The James offered a relatively new PET scan specifically for prostate cancer detection which indicated that the cancer had already spread to my lymph nodes. So things became more complicated than I had hoped, but I was grateful that the scope of the cancer was not missed. My 30 days of radiation treatment were scheduled for November 2022 followed by hormone therapy through May of 2024. Somewhere in the middle of this blur, Jimmy Buffett died of a rare form of skin cancer and it became personal. I was not ready to hear that someone with such a passion for life and love for the world could be a target for cancer. I put “Volcano” on the car stereo and played it LOUD over and over until I convinced myself that’s what Jimmy Buffett would do and I could carry on. And I did. As of now all looks good. Thank you to every kind and talented team member at The James! It has only been a year since Jimmy Buffett died and I miss him. I wanted to create a celebration with his music and try to recreate the concert environment that I shared over the years with good friends and family as a tribute to the joy he brought the world and me. To honor Jimmy and to honor the wonderful team at The James, please make your gift today. All gifts will support the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Research Fund at the OSUCCC – James.

Please consider joining us at our invitational and making a gift to support our family fund. Thank you! [[Amount Raised]] raised The Hills at the Lakes Eddie Kline Invitational began in 2010. I, Eddie Kline, am the Head Golf Professional at The Lakes Golf and C.C., and my family is active Worthington Hills community members. The event started with 100 golfers playing in foursomes and has been a thriving, annual outing. We are so appreciative of the support from our Worthington Hills community. Thank you to everyone who has donated auction items, purchased sponsorship signs and sponsored the event meals over the years. Throughout the years, our auction has featured celebrity athletes: Clark Kellogg, Anthony Schlegel, Archie Griffin, Scoonie Penn, Jake Ballard, Michael Doss and Nate Ebner. We dedicate one par 3 hole to a "hit the green" contest where a generous participant matches the funds collected. A special thanks goes out to my fellow golf professionals and sales representatives for all their donations to this wonderful cause. My wife, Katie, was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer in 2011 and the support of the event grew even stronger. We joined forces with Give 18 for Cancer Research, a 501(c)(3) organization. It was a match made in heaven. They secured a match for every dollar we raised through the Invitational and with those funds raised we supported various cancer research projects annually at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). From 2012-2024, including the match, we have raised a total of $796,120! The experience with Give 18 inspired Katie and I to take on our own new challenge. We created an endowed fund at OSUCCC – James to support ovarian cancer research called The Kline Family Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research! Through our personal experience and the joy of having our friends and family together, we are excited to raise money for important cancer research and ask for your participation by donating to support our family fund.

Support ALS Research

By Dylan DeWeese

Join me in raising funds for ALS research while I compete in a half Ironman in honor of the Cramer family.

Join me in raising funds for ALS research while I compete in a half Ironman in honor of the Cramer family. Dylan DeWeese In August of 2022, I met Lori Cramer through physical therapy. My colleague had done an evaluation on her and asked for my second opinion. After the evaluation, something didn’t sit right with me, so I suggested that she see a neurologist to figure out what was going on. Lori went to multiple neurologists over the proceeding months with some answers that didn’t fit her presentation. After an initial diagnosis of ALS in New York City and a meeting with Dr. Kolb, Lori received the answer that we all feared: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The news was shocking to all of us since Lori was told that ALS was off the table from early providers that she saw. A year into her diagnosis, we have seen a change in her functional status, yet her heart remains bigger than ever. She is able to show up to physical therapy, game nights and other events with a smile on her face and a laugh. This is despite struggling with mobility challenges that limit her daily capabilities. She is the epitome of strength and has inspired those around her to live through a different lens. On September 15th, I will be competing in a half Ironman (70.3) in Michigan. I am competing on behalf of the Cramer family to help raise money for ALS research at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center through Dr. Steven Kolb. Dr. Kolb is doing amazing research in the lab, and I hope this funding can give hope to those who have been diagnosed with ALS. Every year, many people pass away from this debilitating disease as countless physicians look for a cure. Millions of dollars a year goes towards research; however, there is still a need for more funding to complete countless lab testing. Our goal is to raise funds to help with the day-to-day costs for research. Your generous gift will instill hope to those individuals who have been diagnosed with ALS, as research is where the answers will be found, keeping a cure for this disease in-sight.

The 7th Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival took place Friday October 4, 2024 to benefit the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer program at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). This year, with your support, we raised over $80,000! Cancer is the fourth-leading cause of death for young adults, ages 15-39 according to the American Cancer Society. While cancer rates in most groups have fallen, incidence rates in young adults have risen since 2015 and survival rates have remained static for decades. Major life milestones that commonly occur at this age, like finishing college, starting a career or family planning, can feel impossible when cancer enters the mix. To date, the Mac & Cheese Festival has raised over $490,000. These funds have supported targeted research studies, vital and encouraging survivorship programming and enhanced spaces for AYA patients at the OSUCCC – James. The need for cancer research still exists, and we invite you to continue your support of the Columbus Mac and Cheese Festival. Your support of events like the Mac & Cheese Festival truly make an impact. Investing in the cancer experts at the OSUCCC – James fuels groundbreaking discoveries that will lead to our ultimate goal of a cancer-free world. Please join the NextGen James Ambassadors by making a gift. On behalf of the world-class doctors, researchers, friends and caregivers at the OSUCCC – James, we greatly appreciate any support you are able to provide.

Make your gift today to support an exhibit and student scholarship devoted to the legacy of Ohio State Design faculty member, Peter Megert. Janet Muhleman Please help fund an exhibit and student scholarship that honors the life of Peter Megert. More than just a retrospective, the exhibit reveals how Megert was influenced by Swiss and German design schools and contributed to the simplification of messaging and reduction of content to its visual essence that continues today. The exhibit provides a unique opportunity for students, design professionals and the public to:<ul><li>See—design artifacts that were previously not shared in one space.</li><li>Learn—the underlying principles of international design (that we still use today!)</li><li>Experience—an exhibit that is itself a reflection of those principles.</li><li>Reflect—on the broader impact an individual can have through their life.</li></ul> About Peter <a href="https://design.osu.edu/news/marking-passing-professor-peter-megert">Peter Megert</a>, a prolific designer and Ohio State Design faculty member, was instrumental in the movement to introduce critical design thinking and international design style to U.S. design education. As a teacher, Peter influenced hundreds of students who went on to successful careers in design. As a design professional, he created amazing visual solutions for his clients that still resonate today. As a person, he lived life fully with joie de vivre, wit and humor supported by his wife and fellow artist Ursula Megert. The Swiss-born Megert first studied design at the Kunstgewerbeschule and at various programs in France. He joined the young Ohio State Division of Design in 1970 after practicing professionally in Europe and at the Westinghouse Corporate Design Center in Pittsburgh. He rose to the rank of professor before retiring in 1985. Beyond his retirement, he remained active, maintaining his design practice, Visual Syntax and teaching in an adjunct capacity for several more years. Help honor his legacy Your support of the <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/42481/donate">Peter Megert Design fund</a> will make it possible to further the impact Peter Megert can have on Design students today and in the future.

Santino's Crusade for a Cancer-Free World 2024

$6,970 raised from 52 gifts

Make a gift to support Santino's Crusade for a cancer-free world.

Make a gift to support Santino's Crusade for a cancer-free world. [[Amount Raised]] raised from [[Gifts Received]] gifts Santino Carnevale has found himself within the cancer world the entirety of his life. In March 2006, just 10 days after Santino’s parents, Michael and Brooke Carnevale, discovered they were expecting a child, his father was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma — a rare head and neck cancer. In 2015, at only 9 years old, Santino made the decision to stand up and do something in the fight against cancer. At such a young age, he already possessed a desire to help others going through similar battles. Santino began by organizing a lemonade stand and bake sale. Santino intended to honor his father, as well as his grandfather, the late Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes, who passed away when Santino was 4 years old from pancreatic cancer. The first year of the lemonade stand, Santino’s efforts raised an astounding $5,000 and he has never looked back. Santino formed his initiative known as “Santino’s Crusade for a Cancer-Free World”. In addition to the annual lemonade stand and bake sale, Santino hosts an Ohio State Tailgate party in downtown West Jefferson, OH. His family, friends and classmates have joined him in his efforts. Santino is widely known throughout The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) as one of the youngest adolescents to establish a fund and is often referred to as “Santino, the Cancer Crusader". Santino created the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund at the OSUCCC – James in his beloved father’s honor in 2015. Unfortunately, Michael succumbed to his long battle with cancer in the fall of 2016, but that hasn’t slowed Santino’s efforts in the least. Proceeds raised from Santino’s initiatives have exceeded over $205,000 for the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic support fund! In addition, Santino was the recipient of the 2018 Jefferson Award, to recognize individuals who do extraordinary things in their community without expecting anything in return. To date, Santino is the youngest person in history to receive the prestigious Jefferson Award. Santino also serves as a member of The James Ambassadors Society at the OSUCCC – James and is the youngest member inducted into the society. He is an invaluable member in the community and an inspiration to all. Please <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/42229/donate">make a gift</a> today and join Santino's Crusade for a Cancer-Free World!

Cancerversary 54 Hole Golf Marathon

By Steve Mohr

I hope you will support my effort to tee it up for the Multiple Myeloma Research Fund at The James!

I hope you will support my effort to tee it up for the Multiple Myeloma Research Fund at The James! Steve Mohr I have been a patient at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) for almost 12 years now as I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood in April of 2012. When I was diagnosed, my doctor told me that I would be fortunate to live 8-9 years. I have been through the entire treatment regimen for multiple myeloma which includes 25 radiation treatments, 3 years of daily chemotherapy, an autologous stem cell transplant and a short period of maintenance chemotherapy. Multiple myeloma is incurable and while the level of the disease in me is slowly rising, the level is such that I have been off treatment for nearly 5 years. I see my medical team at The James every 6 months and have lab work done every 3 months. I am an avid golfer and took up the game shortly after I recovered from the stem cell transplant and took great pride in the fact that at 68 years old, I walk 18 holes every day and carry my own bag. For the last 3 years on my Cancerversary (the date I was diagnosed), I play 54 holes of golf all while walking. This is my way of showing that having cancer does not define me. I would like to turn this day into a fundraiser for multiple myeloma research at The James and as a platform to create awareness of multiple myeloma. I have named it the Cancerversary 54 Hole Golf Marathon. I also see this as a way to acknowledge the tremendous treatment and medical care I received from the hundreds of medical professionals and staff who I have come into contact with at The James over the last 12 years. By raising funds for multiple myeloma research, I hope to pay forward to future multiple myeloma patients. I hope you will support my effort to tee it up for the Multiple Myeloma Research Fund (306144) at The James!

Our $16,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses:<ul><li>Field Rentals: Our home field, Beekman Field, is now a parking lot and we have to travel up to 45 minutes away from campus to be able to play</li><li>Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags and training items</li><li>Travel for conference, Spring Training and post-season games</li><li>Hotel expenses, van rental fees and fuel</li><li>Umpire Fees</li><li>Home, away and alternate uniforms</li></ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 275 teams divided into 3 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Panama City, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has over a .700 win percentage over the past 22 seasons versus college teams and 15 playoff appearances over the past 10 seasons, including a 2023 National Championship for DII. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with our DII team coming in at #1 on the NCBA DII top 20. Make your gift today! We sincerely appreciate your thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and go Buckeyes!

He was a lover of life, family, friends and so very grateful to be given another chance to live! We were blessed to have him with us for another 15 years. Unfortunately, and so very devastating to all, he lost his life 15 years later, because of heart disease. We are so very grateful for the additional 15 years we, as a family, shared with him, yet so wish we still had him with us today. Because of our devastating loss, together, as a family, we saw the great need to create The Walter T. Bradley II Research & Education Fund, in his memory. Through the years we have hosted many events to raise funds in Walter’s memory. All of the proceeds from our fundraisers go to research and education. It is our belief that only through research and education can cures be discovered and save lives. Our goal is to continue raising funds to help cure heart disease. With your help through donations, no matter the amount, amazing advancements can be made, in the hope that no other families will lose a loved one to heart disease. February is Heart Health Month – the perfect time to raise awareness and teach heart disease prevention methods. It’s important to know that through research and education, 98% of heart disease can be prevented. In honor of Valentine’s Day, our family wishes a “Heart Healthy Valentine’s Day” to all who have their loved ones with them. And to those who are missing their loved ones today and every day, know that our hearts are with you. Our family is asking for your help during Heart Month and always. Please make a gift today in honor or memory of your loved ones. We will continue to send updates about our fundraising progress and future events. The Bradley Family thanks you from “The Bottom of our Hearts to Yours,” for every penny raised! Our best to all your Hearts! ~ Jan Bradley, Wally Bradley, Joe & Heather Bradley, Jacquelyn (Bradley) & Dan Eifert & all my sweet Grandbabies, Joseph, Maxine, Hays, Christian & Lucille

How do we know what tomorrow’s weather will bring? What’s the difference between a watch and a warning? Where can I find historical trends for my community? How can I build a thermometer from a few simple items? Building on growing demand for STEM education materials and a successful Exploring Polar Science 4-H project book released three years ago, our team will design a series of activities for use in an advanced-level 4-H project book. We will host youth programs to gather feedback and refine the materials in collaboration with Ohio 4-H. The book will include opportunities for building instruments, examining authentic local data and exploring weather and climate careers. The completed book will be available through Ohio 4-H's online store and submitted for national distribution. Activities from this project book will also be designed to support efforts of Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalists who have completed Ohio weather, climate and climate change training and are working to offer youth programming. The Exploring Polar Science book has already distributed more than 1,000 copies in its first three years and could be accessed electronically during the pandemic. We estimate demand to be at least as strong for this new Weather, Climate and Climate Change project book. Your contribution ensures that project books are provided to youth as close to printing cost as possible. Make your gift today!

Make a gift in memory of Krista Hays and help cure pancreatic cancer. Please consider honoring Krista with a gift to the Cure for Pancreatic Cancer Fund at The James. [[Amount Raised]] raised from [[Gifts Received]] gifts Krista Hays passed away in the early morning of January 13th after a year-long fight with pancreatic cancer. She was peaceful, comfortable and surrounded by family. She was a mother, wife, friend and dedicated 23-year Navy spouse. Krista pushed her family towards adventure all over the world. She made a home and built communities in Florida, the Pacific Northwest, Japan, Scotland, California, Nigeria, Virginia, Cameroon, Germany, Djibouti and Italy before returning to Ohio to fight her disease with family. Everywhere Krista went, she worked or volunteered to strengthen and reinforce the communities around her. She was a passionate girl scout leader establishing troops overseas in five different locations. She lead squadron families through five deployments and countless detachments and exercises. She introduced US service families to life working at Embassies on the African continent. She served as Community Liaison Officer in Cameroon and Djibouti, getting paid for what she was already doing, stitching together the world around her for the benefit of all there. She was a mentor for young families about to move to adventurous and austere locations world-wide and reveled in this role. Krista is taken too soon; leaving behind two strong, intelligent, energetic beautiful young women, her husband, her parents, siblings and in-laws. She leaves a hole in a loving web of family and friends across Ohio, the United States and the World. In honor of Krista, please consider <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/40992/donate">making a gift</a> in her name for the Cure for Pancreatic Cancer Fund (313777).

This is the first fundraising campaign of the Alumni Club of Brazil! Let's make a difference for Brazilians interested in Ohio State and its short-term programs. The goal is to raise USD 2,000 until the end of March to create a fund that will help cover opportunities such as international <a href="https://gpadmissions.osu.edu/prof/apply-online.html">application fees</a> (USD 70) and registrations for the <a href="https://osumarion.osu.edu/academics/majors/biology/stem-summer-camp">STEM Summer Program</a> for high schoolers (USD 165), for <a href="https://top.osu.edu/about-us">The Ohio Program - Internships in Agriculture</a> (USD 575) and for the <a href="https://moritzlaw.osu.edu/apply-now/foundations-us-law-practice">Foundations of U.S. Law and Practice</a> at the Moritz College of Law (USD 1,000). Any extra money raised will remain in the fund and go to one of the above short-term opportunities.

The club has almost 50 members and 90 participants in its WhatsApp group. <a href="https://oia.osu.edu/units/global-gateways/brazil-gateway/">The Ohio State Brazil Gateway</a> will support the club's initiative by keeping the funds in its Ohio State U.S. based account.

Senator John Glenn believed that students from the heart of the country should have the opportunity to gain experience in Washington. Over 20 years ago, he established the Washington Academic Internship Program (WAIP), which now welcomes over 50 undergraduate students annually to spend a transformative semester living, learning and interning in D.C. Stemming from the success of WAIP and in an effort to further Sen. Glenn’s vision, the college established the MPA-DC program in 2018. Now, 33 students have earned their MPA with hands-on experience working in the nation’s capital. All degree recipients report early career success, landing impressive jobs in public service organizations within 6 months of graduation. Thanks to the combination of personal, professional and academic development, WAIP and MPA-DC have become pipelines for buckeyes to start their public service careers in D.C. and around the country. The #1 barrier for students to enroll in and complete these programs is the cost of living and housing in Washington. Every year, your support of this crowdfunding campaign raises funds to offset these prohibitive costs for deserving students.

Kim Norris Co-founder, Lung Cancer Foundation of America (LCFA) Lung Cancer Patients: Vicki Brown, David Charlowe and Doug Leffel About Breath of Hope Ohio The “Breath of Hope Ohio” Gala was started by Sandy and Mark Lomeo after Mark was diagnosed with lung cancer in April 2014. They were surprised to discover the lack of funding for lung cancer as compared to many other types of cancer. They decided to raise money by having a dinner gala. They formed a steering committee (created by Annie Cacciato) to advance their cause. Fundraising efforts from the event support “Blue Beautiful Skies” Fund to directly benefit the Thoracic Oncology Department at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) for awareness, research, new treatments and hopefully a cure. Presently, lung cancer has a dismal survival rate. It kills more people per year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. In fact, lung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer. Given the poor survival rates of lung cancer, your help is needed. Please, support “Breath of Hope” and its mission by either attending the upcoming event or by making a donation that is meaningful to you. Everyone Deserves a Breath of Hope.

If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://giveto.osu.edu/makeagift?fund=312757&Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive">make a gift</a> here. <a href="https://lead.osu.edu/community-engagement/buck-i-serv">Buck-I-SERV</a> is Ohio State University’s Alternative Break Program coordinated through the Office of Student Life’s Leadership and Community Engagement department. Beginning as a student initiative with a single trip in 2003, Buck-I-SERV has grown to provide over 1,000 trips serving alongside 150+ community partners in the past 20 years to over 30 states and 14 countries. Buck-I-SERV provides students with a challenging and engaging opportunity to lead and learn through direct service experiences. Over winter break 2023, Buck-I-SERV facilitated 10 trips to three states, Washington DC and two international locations for over 75 participants. Together, they collectively completed over 250 hours of service. Our alternative break participants supported community-based efforts focused on environmental conservation and restoration, access to housing and resources, LGBTQ+ youth, survivors of human trafficking, youth experiencing incarceration and more. Throughout their trips, students engaged in dialogue and reflection designed to prepare them to continue their commitment to service when they return to campus. <a href="https://lead.osu.edu/community-engagement/buck-i-serv/buckeye-funder">For more information about Buck-I-SERV and our impact, please visit our website</a>. How will my gift support the Buck-I-SERV Program? By giving to the Buck-I-SERV Program, your contribution will support our programmatic priority of increasing students' ability to participate in our alternative break trips by decreasing financial barriers. This priority is accomplished through two major efforts: <ul><li>Building and expanding our Student Access Fund to provide financial support to individual students participating in our trips</li><li>Subsidizing trip costs to increase the overall affordability and accessibility of our programs for all students</li></ul> On average, a domestic trip costs around $10,000 for Buck-I-SERV to facilitate. This cost includes all travel-related expenses, lodging, community partner program fees or donations, pre-trip events and trainings, trip supplies, all group meals during the trip and a small budget for activities. Buck-I-SERV is generously funded in part by the Student Activity Fee, which allows us to subsidize the cost of our trips for students by approximately 50%. However, we do rely upon student participant fees to cover remaining costs. For the 2023-2024 academic year, all domestic trip participant fees are $500. In an effort to address affordability, Buck-I-SERV launched our <a href="https://lead.osu.edu/community-engagement/buck-i-serv/financial-support">Access Fund </a>initiative for spring 2024 trips. Through the Buck-I-SERV Access Fund, we are able to use gift/donor funding to cover up to 100% of individual students' trip participant fees. Our priority is decreasing barriers for students who may not be able to access our programming otherwise to empower them to take part in a mutually transformative service-learning experience both for the communities they serve alongside and themselves. Since the Access Fund was established, we have received over 50 applications from students seeking financial support to participate in our spring and summer 2024 trips. We were able to fully fund participation in a spring 2024 trip for 8 students and offer partial funding towards participant fees for 11 students. In order to sustain the Access Fund and ensure that it is a resource for years to come, more funding is vital. Our ultimate goal is to raise $10,000 during this campaign which would allow us to fully fund participation in a domestic trip for 20 students (two full trips)! <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/40423/donate">Please help us reach our goal!</a> Any and all support is greatly appreciated and will directly impact student access. "Service can look like many different things to different people. Given individuals' unique strengths and talents, there is always something we can be doing to better our community and to work towards addressing various social justice issues. From my Buck-I-SERV experience, I have a greater appreciation for the privileges I hold and the positions of power these put me in. After learning more about various social justice topics, I now understand how this puts me in a unique role to serve others.” ~ Minnesota: <a href="https://oneheartland.org/">One Heartland </a>Trip Leader We greatly appreciate your time and consideration.

Make a gift in memory of Terry Barrett. In memory of Terry Barrett, please make a gift. Terry Barrett, PhD (1945-2023) Terry Barrett, PhD (1945-2023) died peacefully at his home in Bradenton, Florida on October 29, 2023. Terry, a faculty in Arts Administration, Education & Policy (AAEP) at The Ohio State University for 40 years, was an artist, educator, scholar, student, but most importantly a friend and colleague to those in AAEP and beyond. Known for his calm, but frank demeanor, Terry found himself being a mentor to all, far and wide, formal and informal. Terry spent his time in the study of photography, art, art criticism and aesthetics. In his library of writings, Terry was interested in making the experience of art accessible so that all people could find their way into the artworld, regardless of background and expertise. Some of his most significant writings include: Criticizing Art: Understanding the Contemporary (1999), Criticizing Photographs: An Introduction to Understanding Images (1999), Interpreting Art: Reflecting, Wondering, and Responding (2002), Why Is That Art?: Aesthetics and Criticism of Contemporary Art (2007), Making Art: Form and Meaning (2011), and Crits: A Student Manual (2018). In his <a href="https://terrybarrettosu.com/about/">bio</a>, Terry wrote, “Art is about life and through artworks, reflections, discussions, and listening carefully to one another, I believe we can make a difference, that we can contribute to a better society especially during troubling times.” All of his research, writings, presentations, workshops, teaching and mentorship were demonstrative of this core belief. Terry, as well as his wife, Susan Michael Barrett, were staunch advocates for the arts and art education, specifically art museum education. He did workshops for museum visitors and practitioners both nationally and internationally for decades. He was a leader in the discourse of art criticism and his work is used in museums globally. To honor the work of Terry Barrett, and his vast contribution to the world of art museum education, this award is designated for students who are in the Arts Administration, Education & Policy Museum Education and Administration Specialization. Donations to this award will fund endeavors for graduate students whose research is in museums and/or contemporary art. To support Terry's legacy at Ohio State, please make a gift.

Within a year's time Ohio State's student newspaper will move from its old, second-floor newsroom to a bigger, more prominent space in the Journalism building. And, we could really use your help! By next fall, we will move into a space roughly double the size of the current newsroom, one that will include a new podcasting studio and two video production studios. Though past fundraising campaigns have focused on the financial challenges facing all student newspapers, this year your donation will help fill this new space with computers, cameras, equipment and furnishing needed to ensure the laboratory that is The Lantern newsroom continues as a collaborative, investigative and creative space for student reporters. Though the technologies and techniques available to our students evolve with the times, especially in this multimedia and digital-minded age, The Lantern’s rich tradition of tirelessly serving as the student voice for Ohio State students, faculty, staff and alumni remains unchanged. That's why we are proud to once again join forces with The Michigan Daily, the student newspaper for that school up north, in our own rivalry to raise funds for our news operations. With The Daily newsroom, we work to report on The Game in a manner that’s unprecedented in our university's 153-year history. In the spirit of that rivalry, we also don’t want to lose to our journalistic colleagues in this <a href="https://www.therivalrygame.com/">fundraising challenge</a>. Help us beat Michigan and ensure that our tradition of student journalism, one that consistently puts The Lantern among the best student news organizations in the country, continues for years and decades to come.

We are celebrating 75 years of HESA and the Student Personnel Assistantship (SPA) Program at THE Ohio State University. The SPA program was one of the first of its kind in this country, and since its inception, it has maintained a commitment to excellence and a proud tradition of preparing leaders for higher education and student affairs. Of the many accolades we have garnered since 1948, the thing we are most proud of is our community. We have world-class faculty who develop crosscutting research, innovate in the classroom and serve as leaders within the field. We have standout alumni who transform scholarship and practice in education and beyond. And, of course, we have incredible students, who push us to be better and will be the next generation of changemakers in higher education. Our community is what has sustained us for 75 years, and our community is what we want to invest in for decades to come. As we celebrate this milestone, we are still grappling with the repercussions of a global pandemic, steeling ourselves against societal and political challenges to higher education and striving to better support an increasingly diverse population of students. This work is not easy, but we are making strides, and we can use your help. In honor of our 75th anniversary, we aim to raise $7,500 for the SPA Program Support Fund. Contributions to this fund will support the following areas:<ul><li>Direct student support and professional development grants</li><li>Community programming for alumni and students</li><li>Operational support to maintain the quality of HESA and SPA</li></ul> Please consider giving to continue our tradition of excellence for the next 75 years and beyond. Every dollar counts, from $5 to $1,000 or more, so please share the Buckeye love and continue our commitment to being the best program in the land! Go Bucks!

The Sailing Club Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://giveto.osu.edu/makeagift?fund=313177&Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive">make a gift</a> here, and write in the 'special instructions' textbox that this gift is for the Ohio State Sailing Club. The Ohio State University Sailing Club is a student-led organization dedicated to providing educational and competitive sailing opportunities to students at Ohio State through the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association. Our primary goal is to make a traditionally expensive, exclusive sport accessible to all college students through low dues. Each member’s dues cover all regatta and practice expenses throughout the season. We have members with a wide range of backgrounds and skill levels, from sailors who competed at a national level, to those who have never stepped foot in a boat before joining. Our club aims to foster a constructive environment in which our members can teach, learn and grow as both sailors and people. The past few semesters, we have grown as a club and worked towards expanding our offerings. We have added more chalk talks, practices and regattas to give everyone the opportunity to learn and compete. As a result, our club has been successful in both dinghy and offshore regattas, qualified for MSCA Fall Championships in each of the last two seasons, had podium finishes two years in a row at the Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta and won the Lake Erie Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta. We have even greater ambitions for 2024, as we plan to compete at 13 regattas across the country. With our membership growing by 44% over the last year and our burgeoning success on the water, we seek to support the next generation of Ohio State Sailors with a new fleet of c420s! Our current fleet of seven boats has been in commission for over twenty years and has required extensive maintenance to remain in working order, so we plan to improve both the quality and size of our fleet by purchasing eight lightly used c420s. Due to our small fleet and greater attendance, many of our sailors had limited time out on the water this season. This purchase will allow us to more effectively host regattas and make sure all of our eager members get adequate time to practice. With increasing travel costs for regattas and a major purchase to improve the future of the club, only your support can ensure our ability to provide accessible sailing to all interested Ohio State students. With our new fleet coming in, we would also like to extend the opportunity to name a boat to each of our top ten donors! We are endlessly grateful for any support you are able to offer, and we’re excited for an amazing 2024 season! Fair winds and following seas, OSUSC

We encourage you to make a gift to The James Fund for Life in her honor. Thank you. Ann Neikirk Schlieser Sydnor, a life in review. Ann Neikirk Schlieser Sydnor, a resident of Columbus for over 50 years, passed away on June 16th, 2023. She was preceded in death by her parents Mary Francis McClanahan and Henry Walker Schlieser and brother Henry Walker Schlieser Jr. Ann was born September 23, 1942 in Richmond, VA. She attended the Southern Seminary and later the University of Richmond. She married her husband of 39 years, Davis Sydnor on June 13th, 1962. After a brief stay in Richmond, they moved to Washington state where Davis served in the Army from 1963 to 1965. They returned to Richmond for 4 years and then moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1972 where Davis became a professor of Urban Forestry at The Ohio State University. Ann and Davis were blessed with 3 sons and 4 grandchildren who survive her: son – Thomas Davis Sydnor II (Maureen McLaughlin), granddaughter Lindsey Sydnor, grandson Thomas Davis Sydnor; son – Walker Neikirk Sydnor (Michelle Taff), grandsons Henry Alexander Sydnor and Andrew Edwards Sydnor; son – Harrison Radcliffe Sydnor. Ann was very involved and supportive of The Ohio State University, being a past president of the Ohio State Women’s Club from 1972 until her passing. She was a member of Agriculture Circle as well as a fundraiser for WOSU. She volunteered for Buckeye Bargains and hosted multiple gatherings for Ohio State faculty members and their spouses. Ann earned her realtor license in 2008 and worked for Keller Williams Capital Partners. In her spare time, Ann was a talented seamstress and quilter, loved traveling, rescued many dogs and cats and volunteered at Beagles R Us, beagle rescue. Ann was a beloved soul who did not hesitate to make her views known. You could always count on Ann to tell it like it was, followed by a hearty laugh.

The team and coach push each other to be the best soccer players they can be, while creating bonds and friendships that make us better individuals. The team practices three times a week while in season and have one or more games on the weekends during the fall semester. The team spends lots of time together on and off the field and it truly becomes a family like environment.

It's time for our annual ladies-only dance! This dance is a way to promote breast cancer awareness and raise funds that give back to a cause Jill was so passionate about. We hope you'll continue to support The Jill Vanuch Breast Cancer Research Endowment Fund, which was created as a way to honor Jill's legacy while still raising money for breast cancer research. We are SO close to our $100k goal. THIS IS OUR YEAR! If you can't make it to the dance in person, this page is a great way to contribute. ABOUT ENDOWMENT FUNDS An endowment fund is a restricted fund - meaning only a portion of the interest earned from the dollars in the fund can be spent, not the principal that anchors the endowment. As the fund is accruing interest, the money in the fund will continue to accumulate (as only a small portion of the interest will be used). With this style of fund, the dollars will never run out, and the Jill Vanuch Endowment Fund will live on forever in her memory! The creation of this fund is something that will make a lifelong impact to breast cancer patients and families; it may help fund new pieces of technology or equipment for better breast cancer care, create further advancements in breast cancer research, help provide physician education and training, provide genetic testing and counseling to patients and enable us to provide better support to them as well. We hope that with the creation of the Jill Vanuch Endowment Fund for Breast Cancer Research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James), it will get us one step closer to creating a cancer-free world! Thank you for your support!

When many of us think back to our science classrooms, we picture that room full of test tubes, beakers and Bunsen burners. But what if your classroom was a coastline where you — waist-deep in your waders — would learn about water quality right in the waters surrounding you? Or what if your classroom was a research vessel where you’d discover biology firsthand as you pull up nets full of fish in the middle of Lake Erie? For students who go to Stone Laboratory — The Ohio State University's island campus on Lake Erie — that amazing lake is their classroom and that amazing hands-on science experience is Stone Lab. Stone Laboratory in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) has been offering science classes to students from around the country since 1900. From aquatic biology and birds to water quality management and fish ecology, Stone Lab students are immersed in hands-on science every summer. For younger kids, the lab offers students in grades 5-12 an overnight field trip loaded with outdoor activities where they can learn firsthand what it takes to be a Lake Erie scientist. These Stone Lab experiences have been the reason why so many of our students have become scientists. Such an example is Alex Kushnir, an environmental science major in the CFAES School of Environment and Natural Resources, who received a full summer scholarship last year as a “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mha0c7ofEg">Semester at Stone Lab</a>” student and came back this summer with a research fellowship to lead cutting-edge science alongside top scientists. Now she wants to be the researcher who keeps our drinking water clean. Or Dr. Aaron Wibberley whose <a href="https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/2018/et3xw/student-profile-lab-to-er">Stone Lab research experience</a> helped spark him to go to medical school and is now an emergency medicine physician in Chicago. We want to bring more science to more students and we need your help to do it. Please give today so more students like Alex can get the gear and scholarships they need and Stone Lab can continue to be a place where all students — no matter their background — can find their inspiration. <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/38327/donate">Make your gift</a> today and proudly say that you helped spark the next generation of scientists!

We are Ohio State students working with students from the University of Dodoma in Tanzania, to bring water to the remote Tanzanian village of Marwa and in doing so, address the complex development needs of the community. Elephra Mason, Marwa Village Chairman, has shared that “by bringing water to Marwa, our lives will change forever.” We want to continue changing lives, but we need your generous support! We are a part of the Ohio State Sustainable and Resilient Community - Tanzania Program which is based around community engaged learning and the long-term project is Maji Marwa. (Maji is the Swahili word for water.) Marwa is a rural village, with a predominantly Maasai population, located along the Pangani River in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. Our long-term goal is to design and facilitate the construction of a water supply and distribution system servicing all four sub-villages of Marwa. In August 2023, twenty-two engineering students from Civil, Environmental, Mechanical, Biomedical, Ecological, Agricultural and Industrial Systems engineering will travel to Marwa to observe the drilling of a borehole in the subvillage of Njakati and engage with the community on the planning of the power, pumping and distribution system. This is the first of what we hope to be four boreholes for the community. To raise awareness of the water challenges in Marwa and provide the needed financial support, on August 15th, Michael Hagenberger (CoE Associate Dean, CEGE Professor of Practice), Mark Scott (CoE Director of Facilities), Katie Vatke (CEGE student), Marie Tawfik (BME alum), Kam Fry (MAE alum) and Sam Gisoldi (BME alum) will begin the second leg of the trip to Tanzania, a fundraising climb of Mount Kilimanjaro! 100% of the money raised through this campaign will be used to pay for the materials, equipment, employing local tradespeople and to facilitate the communications and planning for the construction of water systems for Marwa. We are committed to working with the people of Marwa and building their capacity and skills and local government officials so that the contributions we share are sustainable. Today, Marwa's main source of water is the Pangani River that is supplied by runoff from Mt. Kilimanjaro. The women and young girls of Marwa walk five to seven hours every day to collect water for domestic household and personal use. This includes providing each child that is lucky enough to attend school with at least two liters of water each day to take to school for handwashing, cleaning and meal preparation at the schools. As we bring water to Marwa, we are working to improve the health and education of the children and their families. An elder woman in the community once remarked that she dreams of the day when her daughter will have an easier life and her granddaughter will have a better life. Please consider <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/38028/donate">making a gift</a> today to make her dream a reality! Marwa is identified as a “progressive Maasai” community for its commitment to empower female residents and to address aspects of their cultural customs that are no longer appropriate. In addition, the community has made the decision to permanently settle in Marwa. The wandering pastoral life of the Maasai is changing and the Marwa village leadership is proactively seeking strategies and partnerships to engage with the modern world on their terms. Your support will help make a real difference to the lives and future of the people of Marwa. Please embrace this opportunity – if you have any questions or suggestions, please contact any of our project leaders. Asante sana! (thank you in Swahili) Ashe oleng!

We are the Ohio State chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB). At EWB-Ohio State, we use engineering concepts to empower communities and meet basic human needs. We are dedicated to creating long-term connections with different communities to create long-lasting solutions. Our chapter has over 75 active members from a variety of disciplines, all committed to creating a difference in the lives of others. We are currently working with 2 international communities. The first is in the village of Njau in the Gambia, Africa, where we have successfully implemented a robust origination system and water tank. The second is in the village of Carrera, Ecuador where we are going to construct a 2 classroom addition atop an existing school building in order to accommodate the village’s children. In The Gambia, a small country on the western tip of Africa surrounded by Senegal, is where you will find the village of N’jau. The Gambia project was originally an agricultural project starting in 2016. The communities’ garden was being trampled by animals and so they asked for a fence that was installed on the first implementation trip. Our partnership with the community next focused on the need for a significant increase of irrigation capacity and we have installed a bore hole, 12 water taps and two 5,000 L water tanks that are filled via solar powered pumps. Along with the community, we are working with the Women’s Initiative of Gambia (WIG) and local contractors to complete this project. We are working to finish the original scope of the project this year and are looking to work with the community to expand the project objectives with a marketplace and cold storage. A travel team is currently on their way to Njau to perform more permanent repairs on the fence and work with the community to shape out the future of our partnership with them. Since 2021, EWB-Ohio State has been working with the community of Carrera, Ecuador. The community does not currently have enough classrooms to serve its student population, so multiple grades are forced to share one classroom. The proposed project aims to construct two new classrooms as a second story on top of one of the existing school buildings. Six members of our chapter traveled to Carrera, Ecuador in July of 2022 to conduct initial technical testing and establish a relationship with the community. We plan to return in December 2023 to begin the construction of the second story. Your contribution will help us purchase materials to hire contractors to build the two new classrooms. Your donations can help us make this project a reality and improve the quality for the children of Carrera. Through your donation, you will be promoting sustainable change for communities in desperate need. In addition, your generosity will allow our student members to gain the invaluable experience of planning and executing a real world engineering project as students. Our organization and communities of Njau and Carrera are extremely grateful for your support.

Make a gift in memory of Dale Fahrenholz and swim for a cure to raise funds for AML [[Amount Raised]] raised from [[Gifts Received]] gifts Although this giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://giveto.osu.edu/makeagift?fund=311829&Source_Code=AGAG-TRM-S-PP-ClosedPage">make a gift</a> here. What can we say about Dale Fahrenholz? He was the oldest of six kids, a father and a beloved grandpa who was devoted to his family, friends and treasures. He always greeted you with a smile and a handshake. After Dale’s first cancer diagnosis in late 2018, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James) was instrumental in getting him to remission and on his way to continue doing the things he enjoyed. He gained strength quickly and attended his grandson’s wedding a few weeks after his stem cell transplant. His flowerbeds and yard were his joy and his attention to detail in yard art and plant placement was truly enviable. Auctions, outings with friends and family and time with his grandkids held a new appreciation. When his oncologist started to notice a difference in his lab work, changes were made to medication and more tests were needed. A trip was planned after the holidays and he wanted so badly to escape the cold Ohio weather. The decision was made to go on the trip and upon returning, more tests would be done. Unfortunately, the trip was cut short with a hospital stay and an Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) diagnosis. Upon returning home, plans were made to go to The OSUCCC - James to start the aggressive treatment. He was too weak at that point and chose to decline the medical attention that could have extended his time with us even for just a little while. On February 23, 2022, one month after the diagnosis, we lost him. We look back on all the events and question what could have been done differently. Should we have pushed him to pursue the tests before he left? When he first felt sick, should we have taken him straight to The James for treatment? So many “what ifs” run through our heads. The one thing we are sure about though, The James gave us 3 extra years with him that we wouldn’t trade for anything. AML is a terrible diagnosis and research to find a cure is our prayer for the future. Help us support this potentially lifesaving research with your donation to OSUCCC - James. When Dale passed so suddenly at the age of 71, it left the whole family shocked and heartbroken. Kathy was now the oldest sibling and in the next year would be turning 70. She learned of an organization, the Ohio Senior Olympics which sponsors competitions in multiple sports for persons age 50 and older. She decided to start swimming for exercise and relive the swimming days at the West Alexandria Pool and lifeguarding at Hueston Woods State Park. In July of 2022, she competed in the Ohio swim meet in Columbus and as she was leaving, stopped to check the results. She had finished second in the 50-yard and fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke in her age group. Very surprisingly, this qualified her to swim in the National Senior Olympics in Pittsburg, PA in July of 2023. She will be competing in Pittsburgh on July 14 and 15 in the 50-yard and 100-yard breaststroke. It has now been over 1 year since we lost Dale. The family is still heartbroken and misses him every day. Since no 5k or other fundraisers for AML have been found locally, the family would like to dedicate Kathy’s swim to raise awareness and funds for AML. You can honor Dale’s memory in any of these ways:<ul><li>Swim 50 or 100 yards this summer</li><li>Find a pool, pond or lake and enjoy a swim</li><li>Pray for those who are diagnosed with AML</li><li>Support Kathy with thoughts and prayers for a successful swim race in Pittsburgh </li><li>Make a gift here to support AML research</li></ul>

We are excited to be involved with Ohio State and Harley's Ride Canine Cancer Research Fund as animal lovers ourselves. We relish the opportunity to help support such a worthy cause. The three owners of 3rd Line Hockey all have dogs, three of which travel regularly to our tournaments around the country. This is a cause that is very close to our hearts as well as the hearts of many within the 3rd Line organization." - Randy Bishop, <a href="https://3rdlinedraught.com/">3rd Line Hockey</a> Isabella, frolicking about across the Rainbow Bridge since Feb 11, 2022 "The scariest thing about canine cancer, aside from your dog contracting it, is that it is still quite mysterious. No matter how cautious we are with how we care for or what we give our dogs, canine cancer can manifest itself. This was not something I had given much thought to until canine cancer reared its ugly head and became a frightening and harsh reality. Useful information on the topic is hard to come by, and that's because there isn't a whole lot known about it. What is floating about out there is not very comforting either. Though I hope no dog has to experience the nightmare, it's very real. There are two reasons why I am thrilled to help raise funds for canine cancer research. One is that knowing more about what is causing canine cancer and how to prevent it will be invaluable as a dog owner, friend, parent or what have you. The second is helping the dogs living with cancer; their present and future don't have to be so bleak! We have a long way to go but every bit of support will help give dogs the chance they deserve." - Andrew Klobutcher, Ohio Local

Welcome to the Buckeye Funder page for the Buckeye Lacrosse international trip! We are thrilled to have this incredible opportunity to represent our university on the international level. This project aims to raise funds to support our journey and ensure that we can make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. In 2019, our team was fortunate enough to take a trip abroad to Portugal. Taking our players, staff and support staff on an international trip was a life changing experience and created memories that are brought up on a weekly basis. When we set out to do an international trip, we always did so with the intention of making this a four-year tradition, so that every Buckeye who graduates from the program will have gotten the experience to travel with their brothers internationally. Summer 2023 is our 4-year mark, and with travel costs rising, we are actively looking for donors to help us fund this once in a lifetime experience for our men. August 13th, 2023, Buckeye Lacrosse will be departing for Italy! This will be a tremendous culture-building trip for our men and allow us the chance to participate in the international game of Sixes. It will also be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of our men as this will be their first time leaving the United States. We’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received for this trip. To have our entire team and support staff get the chance to visit another country, and spend quality time together, fostering deep team bonds prior to school beginning is so valuable. Not only will this trip serve as a valuable learning experience and team bonding, but it also helps grow the sport of lacrosse on an international level. Your generous donations will contribute to various aspects of the trip, allowing us to cover essential expenses. <ul><li>Travel Expenses: As we journey from Ohio to Italy, the cost of flights, transportation and other accommodations can quickly add up. Your generous donations will help ensure a smooth and comfortable travel experience. </li><li>Cultural Enrichment: Alongside the Game of Sixes, the team will have the opportunity to explore the rich history and vibrant culture of Italy. We believe that cultural experiences are invaluable in shaping well-rounded men, and your contribution will enable our student-athletes to immerse themselves in Italian art, cuisine and landmarks.</li><li>Team Building: This international trip will provide an excellent platform for team bonding, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie among players. Your donation will help organize team-building activities and experiences that will further strengthen the Buckeye Lacrosse team, both on and off the field.</li></ul> By supporting our trip, you become an integral part of the Buckeye Lacrosse program and our team's journey to Italy. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to achieving our fundraising goal. Go Bucks!

Eric David Tolliver, of Gallipolis, OH, passed away peacefully at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) in Columbus, OH on May 1, 2023. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD at a very early age, my brother, Eric, grew up mostly non-verbal and often had a hard time communicating. Early in our childhoods, we found it difficult to explain Eric's disabilities to others, as much was not known about the autism spectrum at that time. Despite all the challenges presented to Eric, he was always a pure joy - known for bringing laughs and smiles to faces the moment he entered a room. Eric got the most out of the simple things in life. He loved doing anything he could to make those around him laugh using his ornery style of humor. He loved exploring outdoors, listening to classic rock, eating good meals, playing in the pool, visits with his family and daytime TV (Judge Judy, Coco Melon and Scooby Doo were his favorites). In honor of Eric, we would like to support the continued advancement of autism research, support other adults with developmental disorders by providing more resources to the community and give back to the hospital that took amazing care of him during his last days. Through the Marci and Bill Ingram Adult Autism and Developmentally Disabled Patient Program Fund we believe we can do exactly that.

The Buckeyes need your support as we travel to Alton, Illinois to play in the <a href="https://div2.clubbaseball.org/worldseries/">NCBA DII World Series</a>. This double elimination tournament will feature 8 regional winners out of the 112 teams at the DII club level. The Buckeyes are the #1 seed and will play UW-La Crosse on Friday, May 19th at 7 PM CST. The event will be held at Lloyd Hopkins Field from May 19 through May 23. We are in need of funds to help cover the weeklong hotel stay and fuel for player’s commute. Any donation amount will help as we look to cover a $4,000 budget deficit in travel expenses for the 6.5-hour trip just outside of St. Louis. After an undefeated conference season at 10-0 and 22-1 overall record, the DII team won their 7th consecutive conference title advancing to the New Penn Regional Tournament. The team was flawless beating Cal PA, a rematch of last year’s championship game, in round 1, 8 to 2. In round 2, the Buckeyes fought off a late surge from Old Dominion winning 3 to 2. In the championship game versus West Virginia, after a 3-hour weather delay, the Buckeyes returned in a 1 to 1 game and quickly found themselves down 3 to 1 going into the bottom of the 6th inning. However, always a resilient group, the team exploded for 3 runs in their half of the 6th and went into the final inning needing 3 outs to advance to the NCBA World Series. Drew Lane, who was the winning pitcher in game 1, finished off the Mountaineers, leading the DII squad to their 2nd ever World Series appearance and 5th overall in program history. We sincerely appreciate any donation amount you can provide and your thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and go Buckeyes!

ACM-W's scholarships program offers several tiers of financial assistance, ranging from 50% of conference costs covered up to 100% covered, allowing almost every student to attend. Grace Hopper Conference (GHC) is an international 3-day technical conference highlighting and celebrating the achievements of women in the technology field, as well as empowering all minorities in tech to make a place for themselves in the tech industry. It occurs annually and features speakers, technical talks, workshops, a career fair with hundreds of companies, networking, poster showcases and awards for remarkable technical women. The conference's namesake, Admiral Grace Hopper, was a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy in the late 1900's and a contributor to the compiler for the COBOL programming language, and is today a worldwide role model to women in the technical field. Students, young professionals and seasoned pros alike are all welcomed at Grace Hopper Conference to expand their technology skills, explore the industry and meet peers. Our goal is to provide full scholarships to 20 students to the 2023 Grace Hopper Celebration, and we would love to increase this number if your support makes it possible.

Santino Carnevale has found himself within the cancer world the entirety of his life. In March 2006, just 10 days after Santino’s parents, Michael and Brooke Carnevale, discovered they were expecting a child, his father was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma—a rare head and neck cancer. In 2015, at only 9 years old, Santino made the decision to stand up and do something in the fight against cancer. At such a young age, he already possessed a desire to help others going through similar battles. Santino began by organizing a lemonade stand and bake sale. Santino intended to honor his father, as well as his grandfather, the late Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes, who passed away when Santino was 4 years old from pancreatic cancer.. The first year of the lemonade stand, Santino’s efforts raised an astounding $5,000 and he has never looked back. Santino formed his initiative known as “Santino’s Crusade for a Cancer-Free World”. In addition to the annual lemonade stand and bake sale, Santino hosts an Ohio State Tailgate party in downtown West Jefferson, OH. His family, friends and classmates have joined him in his efforts. Santino is widely known throughout The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) as one of the youngest adolescents to establish a fund and is often referred to as “Santino, the Cancer Crusader". Santino created the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund at the OSUCCC-James in his beloved father’s honor in 2015. Unfortunately, Michael succumbed to his long battle with cancer in the fall of 2016, but that hasn’t slowed Santino’s efforts in the least. Proceeds raised from Santino’s initiatives have exceeded over $170,000 for the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic support fund! In addition, Santino was the recipient of the 2018 Jefferson Award, to recognize individuals who do extraordinary things in their community without expecting anything in return. To date, Santino is the youngest person in history to receive the prestigious Jefferson Award. Santino also serves as a member of the James Ambassadors Society at the OSUCCC-James and is the youngest member inducted into the society. He is an invaluable member in the community and an inspiration to all.

AYA cancer patients and survivors face a unique array of challenges. Major life milestones that commonly occur at this age, like finishing college, starting a career or family planning, can feel impossible when cancer enters the mix. To date, the Mac & Cheese Festival has raised over $350,000. These funds have supported targeted research studies and enhanced the spaces for AYA patients at the OSUCCC – James with artwork and entertainment options that help them feel more at ease. The need for cancer research still exists, and we invite you to continue your support of the Columbus Mac and Cheese Festival. Please note that any donations made after Friday, September 1st, will not be acknowledged on any printed sponsor materials. Your support of events like the Mac & Cheese Festival truly make an impact.

Byrd Center High School Internship Program Facets of the Program Please don't miss this opportunity to support the Byrd Center in our Summer 2023 Internship Program. Here are some important facets of the program:<ul><li>Interns are paid and provided with bus/parking pass and funds for lunches.</li><li>Voluntary supervisors and mentors are provided for each intern.</li><li>Interns participate in weekly meeting with a non-supervisory mentor.</li><li>Interns complete real work assignments including technical activities, research & operations and outreach.</li><li>Interns work for 25 hours a week for 6 weeks (can be extended by 2 weeks).</li><li>Interns participate in center meetings and attend research seminars.</li><li>Supervisors and mentors receive training and regular program check-ins.</li></ul> The primary purpose of these internships are to introduce high school students in under-served communities adjacent to campus with professional mentoring to provide them with real work experiences that can be included on their resume, as well as expose them to work in a professional setting, a research setting, an academic library and a college campus. Internship Compensation Funds for the program are provided by donations. For 2023, the total for an 8-week summer internship costs roughly $3,200 per intern. Background The Climate Research Internship for High School Students is a summer internship program that was conceived of by The Ohio State University Libraries to enhance the 6-week Career Institute conducted by the Expanding Visions Foundation (EVF), a local non-profit. The Career Institute focuses on professional etiquette, resume writing, skills building, interviewing skills and professional career coaching. Students are eligible to interview for internships on graduation from the Career Institute. In summer 2022, the program included multiple placements in STEM departments for the first time, including the Byrd Center. The Byrd Center had interest in offering a similar program for years, but could not find the resources to market, recruit and train students at a rate of one to two students per year. The partnership with EVF and University Libraries provided the collective support for STEM involvement. Likewise, paid internships allowed the program to reach candidates beyond those able to volunteer their time. While the STEM placements are not explicitly focused on encouraging students to pursue future education or careers in STEM fields, that outcome would be a positive side effect. The Byrd Center wants to be able to host a high school internship program each summer. Thank you for your generosity in supporting our initiative.

More than 11,000 deserving young people in our community have directly participated in our summer camp and clinic programming along with many more involved in our Youth Leadership Academy which serves high school students. LiFEsports recognizes that youth sports are about much more than playing ball – it’s about giving young people skills they can use both on and off the field. That’s why LiFEsports uses athletics to teach youth valuable life skills. Our activities focus on four critical social skills that will help them grow and mature: Self-control, Effort, Teamwork and Social Responsibility, or S.E.T.S. This summer, LiFEsports is working to offer summer camp programming in not just one but seven different locations: <ul><li>Ohio State’s main campus </li><li>Beatty Community Center</li><li>Linden Community Center</li><li>Adams Community Center</li><li>Davis Middle School (Dublin City schools)</li><li>Starling Elementary (Columbus City Schools)</li><li>Georgian Heights Elementary (Columbus City Schools)</li></ul> Since 2018, LiFEsports has grown from offering just one camp each summer to now seven. LiFEsports camps will serve over 950 youth this summer, but we can't do it without your help! Can you help support sending a child to camp this summer? Your donation will directly contribute to teaching our youth the life skills they need to move forward in sport, school and life.

The Translational Data Analytics Institute hosts a free summer day camp designed for students in rising grades 7, 8 and 9 to explore data science and analytics. It’s an exciting, fast-growing field centered on scientific methods and processes for extracting new knowledge from data. Students who learn these skills can combine them with an unimaginably wide range of interests, from business and biology to health care and education, to city planning and social services. Over the course of five days in the summer, campers will:<ul><li>Work in student teams and with mentors to develop analytical and problem-solving skills</li><li>Learn from scientists and students across the data spectrum</li><li>Discuss gender, race and cultural biases (in data and in our community)</li><li>Explore educational and career opportunities in data science and analytics</li></ul> Middle school is a critical age to reach students because they're starting to think more about their futures and looking toward their high school careers. This is the 6th summer for our camp, but only the third summer in-person. Our participants come from a variety of school districts in the Greater Columbus area. Your support helps us continue to provide this summer STEM experience at no cost to participants. Some of the costs you'll help offset with your gift include pay for student workers, food and beverages for participants, transportation, fees for activities and the supplies needed for the participants to engage in their group work and end of camp presentations. Throughout this campaign we will share stories from previous participants and our session leaders. We'll also share some of the experiences planned for this year's participants.

Wayne County Farmland is a ‘National Treasure’ American Farmland Trust (AFT) has mapped the entire country to identify the best agricultural land for food production. 81% of the land in Wayne County agriculture is considered "Nationally Significant", which AFT describes as the most productive, versatile and resilient farmland in the country. When managed well, it provides a host of environmental benefits and is the factory floor for agricultural economic opportunities. Wayne County is a Powerhouse of Production Agriculture makes up 21% of the Wayne County’s economy, 15% of total employment and 20% of labor income. We are #1 in the state for dairy, #2 for cattle and calves, #3 for livestock and poultry and #3 for total value of products sold. Wayne County also has the largest local food economy in Ohio with over $8 million in sales. Ag is an important part of Our Community Our comprehensive plan, Wayne County Onward, calls out our rich rural and agricultural heritage as an important county asset, along with the opportunity for "small town" living. Wayne County Farms and Farmland are under Threat Making a living in farming is becoming harder. Changes in markets, an aging farm population and farm stress combined with urban development pressure on prime farmland are raising concerns about the future of Wayne County agriculture and the larger regional economy connected to farming. From 2012-2017, 20,000 acres went out of production - idled or slated for development. Once farmland is developed, it is gone...forever. To help support farms and protect farmland, the Wayne County Ag Success Team (AST) has convened farmers, food and farm supply chain businesses, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, capital providers, economic development organizations and local government with diverse perspectives, deep knowledge and experiences, strong community connections and a passion for protecting and preserving Wayne County’s food and agricultural systems. Your tax-deductible donation will go to help the AST develop a Food and Agriculture Plan to compliment Wayne County Onward so we can support our farmers and protect our irreplaceable, nationally treasured farmland.

They were surprised to discover the lack of funding for lung cancer as compared to many other types of cancer. They decided to raise money by having a dinner gala. They formed a steering committee (created by Annie Cacciato) to advance their cause. Fundraising efforts from the event support “Blue Beautiful Skies” Fund to directly benefit the Thoracic Oncology Department at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) for awareness, research, new treatments and hopefully a cure. Presently, lung cancer has a dismal survival rate. It kills more people per year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. In fact, lung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer. Given the poor survival rates of lung cancer, your help is needed. Please, support “Breath of Hope” and its mission by either attending the upcoming event or by making a donation that is meaningful to you. Everyone Deserves a Breath of Hope. Our mission is to bring hope to the men and women diagnosed with lung cancer every day and raise funds to support the innovative research necessary for a cure.

The success of our program has been in large part due to the annual donations provided by family, friends and alumni of the program who help offset our $60,000 annual budget. Our $18,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses:<ul><li>Field Rentals: Our home field, Beekman Field, is now a parking lot and we have to travel up to 45 minutes away from campus to be able to play</li><li>Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags and training items</li><li>Travel for conference, Spring Training and post-season games</li><li>Hotel expenses, van rental fees and fuel</li><li>Umpire Fees</li><li>Home, away and alternate uniforms</li></ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 275 teams divided into 3 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Panama City, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has a .702 win percentage over the past 22 seasons versus college teams and 14 playoff appearances over the past 9 seasons. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with current rankings of #22 out of 132 teams for DI and #6 out of 122 teams for DII. We sincerely appreciate any donation amount you can provide and your thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and go Buckeyes!

We are raising funds for Chi Sigma Iota (CSI), Ohio State’s Counseling Honors Society. These funds will be utilized for academic recognition, social justice work in the community, social events for members and networking opportunities. One of CSI's major expenses is our annual Spring Banquet. This event, held in the Ohio Union on Thursday, May 4th, celebrates the successes of graduating students and welcomes new Chi Sigma Iota members into the organization. It is also an opportunity for our loved ones to interact with the community of peers and faculty who have been incredibly important to us throughout this program. Since the Spring Banquet is so meaningful to us, we believe we must strive to reduce financial barriers for all attendees. Our academic program has a strong social justice orientation, which undergirds the mission and vision of Chi Sigma Iota. Our organization covers the ticket price for each CSI inductee; however, we are currently unable to cover the ticket price for inductees' guests. We recognize that it may not be affordable for all our students' loved ones to attend and have been working to minimize the financial burden of the event without sacrificing the quality of the academic recognition. For this reason, we are humbly asking for donations to offset costs of event tickets for guests, certificates and graduation cords. Additional funds would also allow us to partner further with Counselors for Social Justice (CSJ) in future years. Partnering with CSJ will allow CSI to fulfill the two main pillars of the Counselor Education program that Ohio State is built upon, Social Justice and being culturally competent counselors. With our current funding, we have gathered resources like canned food, hygiene products and supplies for a local school. Future cohorts of CSI would love to continue these types of initiatives on a larger scale and having additional funds would allow us to broaden our reach.

The Memorial Fund will be used to propel us vigorously towards the same goals that Brad promoted. Namely, the funds will support academic and outreach activities that promote Japanese Studies on campus and that enhance the interest, knowledge and discourse on Japan-related topics in the academic communities and general public. Until the contributions to the fund reach the endowment level, the fund shall function as a current-use fund. 2023 Brad Richardson Memorial Lecture:<ul><li><a href="https://easc.osu.edu/events/ijs-2023-brad-richardson-memorial-lecture-shigehisa-kuriyama-happiness-ordinary-places"></a><a href="https://easc.osu.edu/events/ijs-2023-brad-richardson-memorial-lecture-shigehisa-kuriyama-happiness-ordinary-places"></a><a href="https://easc.osu.edu/events/ijs-2023-brad-richardson-memorial-lecture-shigehisa-kuriyama-happiness-ordinary-places">Happiness in Ordinary Places: Lessons from Edo Japan</a></li><li>February 24, 2023, 4:00 – 6:30 p.m. ET</li><li>Shigehisa Kuriyama, Harvard University</li><li>Respondent: Melissa Anne-Marie Curley, The Ohio State University</li><li>In person (The Ohio State University Campus: Jennings Hall, Room 001)</li><li><a href="https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07ejl47ero2db37987&oseq=&c=&ch=">Registration Link</a></li></ul>

Marion Campus Healthy Food Resources 2023

Students of English 3304 Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=315922">make a gift</a> here. Food insecurity is a problem for students in colleges all across the United States, and a survey showed that our Ohio State Marion campus is no different. In fact, based on the survey's results, 26.7% of students on our campus have struggled at some point with knowing how they were going to afford their next meal. In response to this need, a team of faculty and staff along with the student organization, the Buckeye Food Alliance, opened two food pantries and provided three “Friendly Fridges” (commercial refrigerators) on the Marion campus. These resources mean that students have access to free, healthy, fresh foods and basic staples on a regular basis. However, with rising food prices and lower supplies available, providing regular resources has become more difficult and expensive. This is why every dollar you donate will ensure that we can keep the refrigerator and pantry shelves stocked with healthy food options. Our goal with this campaign is to help students succeed in college, and we know that one major component to a student's success is general wellness.

Happy birthday Ohio Stadium! This year we have heard so many stories of the building and atmosphere of the Ohio Stadium as it turns 100. News media have done countless stories about Ohio Stadium but not many people can say they called it 'HOME' during their college years. It has been great seeing the different interviews or comments on social media from you alumni who had the honor to live in Ohio Stadium. Our program may no longer be housed in Ohio Stadium, but the program continues to support worthy, smart and successful students over in Scholars East and West on the Ohio State campus. Our scholarship fund started back in the 1960's where it provided $50 awards to 3 students each year. This past year, thanks to your donations, we were able to award on average $2,500 to 10 deserving students. We use the interest in our endowed scholarship account to make those scholarships possible. More donations means more scholarships for students, so..... The Stadium Scholarship Alumni Society wants to keep the birthday celebration going a bit longer. For the next month, we are asking for donations to help grow our Stadium Scholarship Fund. If you have donated in previous years, we THANK YOU! We know your experience living in the Stadium Program, where ever it was located at the time, gave you support and skills you didn't even realize during that time. We want to continue to keep that cooperative spirit in the SSP for its current residents who are paying a bit more for their college experience today. No donation is too small and please remember every donation you give grows our scholarship fund. That money doesn't go away, but it builds more interest for us to provide scholarships to deserving students. If you have questions for any board member of the Stadium Scholarship Alumni Society, you can contact us via our <a href="https://stadiumscholarship.alumni.osu.edu/">website</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/20294127758/?fref=t">Facebook</a> or <a href="mailto:stadiumalumni@gmail.com">email</a>.

Buckeyes in Law: Moritz DC Summer Program 2023

Since 2003, each summer, the Michael E. Moritz College of Law has offered an amazing opportunity for Ohio State law students to study and work in Washington, DC. The <a href="http://go.osu.edu/MoritzDC">Moritz DC Summer Program</a> annually places about twenty law students in summer internships in DC—usually in unpaid internships and most often at federal agencies, on the Hill, and at non-profits, for which the students earn three course credits. As part of the summer program, Professor Steve Huefner teaches a course entitled the Ethics of Washington Lawyering, for which participating students earn an additional 2 course credits. The students also write a final term paper based on a substantive legal topic related to their internship, and they meet with dozens of prominent lawyers in DC, including agency general counsels, White House lawyers, members of Congress, federal judges and top-flight public interest litigators, to provide just a few examples. For more information on the Moritz DC Summer Program, check out the program website <a href="http://go.osu.edu/MoritzDC">here</a>. The Moritz DC Summer Program attracts some of our sharpest students, including many who are interested in careers in government and public service. Including this summer, close to 400 Ohio State law students will have participated in the program. These students make a substantial investment to participate in the program, including tuition and fees in the amount of roughly $8,500 for Ohio residents and $11,000 for nonresidents, not including living expenses. To make the Moritz DC Summer Program more accessible to the full range of our JD students, and to help provide more financial flexibility for students in the program to pursue public-interest employment opportunities after graduation, we are launching our third annual Buckeye Funder campaign to encourage alums, supporters and friends of Ohio State to invest in our amazing students. Our goal is to raise $10,000 in scholarships through this initiative, which will be divided equally among the students enrolled in the 2023 Moritz DC Summer Program. Make your gift today to support our Buckeyes in Law in DC! Please also spread the word to fellow Buckeye alums, friends and supporters!

Greetings Classmates, As many of you know, in 2017, several of us from the Moritz College of Law Class of 1982 helped establish the Class of 1982 Memorial Scholarship to recognize our classmates, honor our extraordinary class and “pay forward”. This was especially inspired by the unexpected death of Janet Kottman in 2016, but she is just one of the many special people in our class. You have heard from us over the past several years as we attempt to reach the minimum funding level of $50,000 to permanently endow a scholarship for a law student with financial need and demonstrated interest in public service. As we age and hear people talk about the circle of life, it is interesting that more and more students consider or come to Moritz with aspirations for legal careers in public service, whether it is fighting human trafficking, helping families who are facing eviction, advocating for children or serving in governmental roles. Sounds like the 70’s – lots of interest in public service! This scholarship will support that interest and help prepare law students to lead organizations and serve others in our communities for generations to come. In order to endow a scholarship, we are launching this Buckeye Funder campaign to raise a minimum of $20,000 by June 30, 2023. If you contribute before the deadline, YOUR GIFT WILL BE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR THANKS TO SEVERAL CLASSMATES WHO HAVE GENEROUSLY CREATED A MATCHING POOL OF FUNDS. So, every dollar you contribute will actually result in two dollars going to the scholarship – up to an additional $20,000! This is our final opportunity to express our appreciation for our own legal education, recognize our deceased classmates who are listed below, honor our class and collectively support future students through the scholarship fund. We hope you will join us in a renewed effort to make a lasting impact through this scholarship. Please help us honor our class, serve our alma mater and take advantage of the match from several of our classmates! Thank you for considering this opportunity.

Help Preserve Comic Strip History

By Billy Ireland Cartoon Library

If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://giveto.osu.edu/makeagift?fund=316717&Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive">make a gift</a> here. The History: Twenty-five years ago, six semi-trucks arrived at The Ohio State University. They contained the world’s most comprehensive collection of newspaper comic strips and cartoons, featuring more than 2.5 million comic strip clippings and pages. Bill Blackbeard, a comics historian and collector, had amassed this vast and unparalleled collection in his San Francisco home starting in 1967. Bill recognized the value of studying this popular media that engaged a diverse audience of millions and that reflected and commented on our society and culture. Realizing that physical newspapers were being discarded by libraries in favor of microfilm, he understood that the black and white mircrofilm images could never be an appropriate format for preserving and studying our comic strip heritage, especially the Sunday color comics. In response to this need, Blackbeard embarked on a life-long mission to rescue comics material in order to preserve it for future generations. He formed a non-profit called the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art, and traveled around the country collecting newspapers that libraries were no longer able to keep. He kept many Sunday comics supplements intact, but also recruited volunteers to clip out individual daily and Sunday strips to create complete runs in chronological order by title: his goal was to collect and preserve every comic strip that had ever been published. The resulting collection, documenting more than a century of newspaper comic strips, is unique and could never be recreated today. Many of the works Blackbeard preserved are the last surviving copies of their kind. In the late 1990s, Blackbeard lost the lease on his home in San Francisco where he housed his massive collection. The material was once again at risk. Ohio State’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum (BICLM) stepped in to save the collection. Seventy-five tons featuring more than 2.5 million comic strip clippings and pages along with related material filled six semi-trucks that made their way from San Francisco to Columbus, Ohio in late 1997. The Project: Despite the work previously completed since 1998, 2,000 boxes of material from this massive collection remain uncatalogued and undiscoverable, at risk of being forgotten. Donations support: <ul><li>Our Project Archivists’ salary and benefits </li><li>Additional archival housing material</li><li>One or two Ohio State student assistants</li></ul> The Impact: The San Francisco Academy of Comic Art Collection project is at the heart of BICLM’s mission to inspire the study and appreciation of cartoon and comic art. As a cultural heritage center, we collect, preserve and make accessible materials that represent a diversity of voices for research, teaching, exhibitions, and educational programming. This collection contains the graphic art of thousands of artists, including such luminaries as Winsor McCay, George Herriman, Nell Brinkley, Lyonel Feininger, Frank King, Milton Caniff, Edwina Dumm, Hal Foster, Walt Kelly, and Charles Schulz, as well as many whose work has not received the appreciation and critical attention it deserves because of the lack of access. The collection also includes incredibly rare copies of the Chicago Defender, one of the definitive Black Press newspapers. It is imperative that we rehouse and catalog this historically and artistically-significant collection so that broad public access can be provided for exhibitions, for research, and for teaching. Creating access to these irreplaceable source materials and artistic commentaries on the social, political, and cultural happenings across time will offer unique insights to researchers while inspiring diverse, broad audiences for generations to come. Thanks to Bill Blackbeard’s collection, BICLM is the only place in the world where much of this material can be studied, and we can only imagine what discoveries remain in the thousands of uncatalogued boxes. We need your help! As a thank you for your donation, we have put together some fun (and even unusual) perks at different giving levels!

Alice’s Milestone birthday supporting an international internship

As the Executive Director of ASHK since 2012, much of what I am doing at ASHK is reminiscent of my time at ODUA (Ohio Drake Union Activities) where I volunteered as an undergraduate at Ohio State. While at Ohio State, as an International Studies major, I heard great speakers at Mershon as part of its distinguished lecturer series, and I attended performances of world-class artists. Ohio State empowered me to explore ideas, encouraged my curiosity and expanded my mind. During my senior year at Ohio State, I was offered an internship at the Ohio Department of Development's International Trade Division (ITD) which got me started on my international career. Upon graduation, my boss at ITD, Nora Ching Courtright, offered me a full-time position as Trade Specialist leading to 9 years working for the State of Ohio, including opening the State of Ohio’s office in Hong Kong and serving as the Managing Director. I am grateful to Nora for giving me the internship opportunity which led to my first job and an international career. I hope this internship will inspire a current student to consider undertaking a career working internationally and will broaden their horizons. This scholarship is dedicated to my mentors, Nora Ching Courtright and Ronnie Chan. Not only was Nora my first boss and mentor, but she has also become a dear friend whose counsel and advice I continue to seek. Before joining the Ohio Dept. of Development as Head of the Asia Division, Nora (also a Buckeye) received the Best Teacher accolade from The Ohio State University’s College of Arts & Sciences, East Asian Language Dept. Like Nora, Ronnie Chan has been very influential in my life. In 1995, after I joined the private sector in Hong Kong, Ronnie became my boss and encouraged me to pursue my graduate degree, giving me time off for my studies and offering me a scholarship to do so. When I became the Executive Director of Asia Society Hong Kong Center in 2012, he again became my boss as the Chairman of ASHK. Both Nora and Ronnie, have supported my growth and career for many years, and, above all, they have taught me humility and humanity. Like the academic preparation I received at Ohio State, I would not be where I am without their mentorship. Dedicating this scholarship to them is how I can say “thank you” in my own way and pay it forward. As a current member of The Ohio State University Alumni Board and the only one based outside of the US, I have been inspired by my fellow board members and have seen the many ways I can give back to the university. As a result, I resolved to make a difference in this year of my milestone birthday by embarking on my first Buckeye Funder journey to help support a fellow Buckeye as they prepare for an enriching global experience. Please join me in sponsoring this unique fellowship opportunity. Thank you for your support. Go Bucks! Respectfully,S.

Center for Foodborne Illness Research & Prevention 2022

Help us celebrate what should have been Kevin Kowalcyk’s 24th birthday by supporting CFI’s efforts to prevent foodborne disease!

Help us celebrate what should have been Kevin Kowalcyk’s 24th birthday by supporting CFI’s efforts to prevent foodborne disease! Barbara Kowalcyk Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate.

On December 10th, Kevin Kowalcyk should be celebrating his 24th birthday but he isn't. In 2001, at age 2 1/2, Kevin became one of the estimated 3,000 people to die each year in the United States from foodborne illness. Fueled by his passing, his mother, Barbara Kowalcyk and grandmother, Patricia Buck, devoted their careers to preventing others from getting sick or dying from contaminated food and promoting stronger food safety policies and practices that protect public health. Twenty-one years later, they are still fighting to prevent illnesses like Kevin's. The Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention (CFI) was founded as a non-profit organization by Kowalcyk and Buck in 2006 to facilitate, encourage and promote research on food safety, translate and communicate science and its implications for food safety to stakeholders and work on behalf of consumers to implement a stronger, more science-based food system that prevents foodborne diseases. Over the years, CFI has earned a reputation as a leader in improving food safety policies and practices through science-based approaches. Among its many contributions, CFI collaborated with other groups to develop, pass and implement the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (FSMA), which was the first major overhaul of food safety oversight at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in more than 70 years. The center also joined multiple efforts to strengthen government resources for national and state food safety programs, and it led an effort to require mandatory labeling of mechanically tenderized beef products, which have been associated with foodborne illnesses. In 2017, Kowalcyk joined the faculty at Ohio State and brought CFI to the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. Foodborne illness is a serious public health issue that causes an estimated 600 million illnesses and 420,000 deaths globally each year. CFI’s mission is to advance a more scientific, risk-based food safety system that prevents these illnesses and protects public health by translating science into policy and practice. Much positive social change has already resulted through years of tireless commitment to bring about food safety reform and advancement at CFI; however, there is still much more to accomplish in the food safety industry. Please, consider contributing to CFI’s fight towards achieving food safety advancements and reform by <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/34678/donate">making a gift</a> or joining the <a href="https://foodsafety.osu.edu/food-safety-consortium-0">CFI Food Safety Consortium</a>. This will provide further funding for CFI to support student experiential learning opportunities, on-campus events, purchase research supplies, continue statistical software subscriptions, travel to domestic and international food safety meetings and much more. We thank you very much for your support! Happy Birthday, Kevin! Check out our food safety research projects on the CFI website: <a href="https://foodsafety.osu.edu/research">foodsafety.osu.edu</a>.

The Dr. Austin Ayars Endowed Memorial Scholarship Fund in Veterinary Medicine was created by Bonnie and John Ayars in memory of their son, Dr. Austin Ayars. This scholarship will be awarded to a fourth year DVM student, with preference for members of the Food Animal Medicine Club and interested in pursuing a career in bovine/dairy medicine. The Ayars family has also established an undergraduate scholarship fund for early commitment students at The Ohio State University's College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). At a very young age, the only career dream of Austin T. Ayars was to become a large animal veterinarian. Through the nurturing of the family’s dairy farm experiences, 4H projects and FFA curriculum, the dream became a goal and in 2007, that goal became a reality as he graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. While an Animal Sciences undergraduate, he spent hours tutoring, was President of the CFAES Ag Council and graduated as a top Senior. On the road to his goals, he had some challenges and defining moments yet he pursued the goal. Austin worked hard in school developing animal husbandry methods, financial skills and relationships with the large animal aspiring vets. They planned Sunday visits to the home farm to develop basic skills followed by a complimentary brunch at the kitchen table. At that time, the group would often network with other veterinarians to ask logical and probing questions outside of the traditional classroom. Austin also wanted and needed someone to share his heart and his vision. In 2007, he and Adrienne married in a ceremony that brought him to tears as she processed down the aisle. Together, they moved to Arizona to begin his career. During that time, Austin pursued grants from businesses and large companies that assisted in his continuing education and knowledge base. He also found his second language to be integral in developing lasting and valuable relationships with his Hispanic clients. As the years passed, he and Adrienne had three children. Lane and Layla were able to be fostered by his remarkable caring and “fatherly” ways, but AJ was born 6 weeks after Austin was gone. Yet this child bears a remarkable resemblance to his father. At this time, the family seeks to honor the “uniqueness” of Dr. Austin T. Ayars in developing an endowment to honor his life and dreams. They will search to discover his qualities in aspiring undergraduates and vet students. It will not be solely based upon academics, but genuine and caring individuals who characterize those qualities of Austin. Fate and destiny play a role in our lives. Perhaps the story of Austin’s life will be the fulfillment and inspiration of one of these deserving individuals. Although our Austin lived a short life, he LIVED and SHARED incredible moments with people and animals alike.

The Lantern is entirely supported by the money it makes from its advertising. Just like many professional newspapers, our student newspaper’s financial future is threatened by decreasing print advertising revenues. That is why we are building an endowment, a fund that will provide a reliable source of income year after year. Your donation will help build this endowment, which will help us pay for the following expenses:<ul><li>Equipment such as cameras, laptops, newsroom computers and software.</li><li>Printing and distribution of the newspaper.</li><li>Travel costs to cover away, bowl, championship and tournament games.</li><li>Monthly stipends for The Lantern editing staff.</li></ul> In the spirit of that rivalry, we also don’t want to lose to our journalistic colleagues in this fundraising challenge. Thanks for your support!

I'm running 26.2 miles in the Columbus Marathon this year! Make a gift to The James Fund for Life in honor of all the individuals cancer has impacted.

I'm running 26.2 miles in the Columbus Marathon this year! Make a gift to The James Fund for Life in honor of all the individuals cancer has impacted. [[Amount Raised]] raised from [[Gifts Received]] gifts Although my personal fundraising page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRM-S-PP-ClosedPage&fund=310921">make a gift</a> here. My 26.2 Columbus Marathon miles this year are inspired by Lisa Pollard, Ben Meddles and Baileigh Molnar. I will be raising funds throughout the remainder of 2022 to honor their individual and unique cancer journeys. All proceeds raised will be donated to The James Fund for Life. The James Fund for Life supports the priorities of the OSUCCC – James including life-saving research, clinical trials and new technologies. Lisa Pollard is my mom. She defeated breast cancer in March of 2019. What inspires me about my mom’s journey was her faith over fear mindset. She had a relentless faith throughout every high and low of her journey. When things got hard, my mom always turned to God and trusted in His plan. I never saw my mom afraid of what was ahead of her. She remained optimistic every step of the way through prayer and reliance on faith. My mom’s bravery was contagious. Doubt was easier for our family to overcome because of her unwavering determination throughout her journey. It was my mom’s bravery and determination that inspired me throughout my first marathon in 2018. The hug I was able to share with my mom after crossing the finish line was one of the best hugs I’ve been able to share with someone so far in life. Ben Meddles is my grandpa. He gained his wings as a guardian angel in October of 2021 after a tenacious battle with bladder cancer. I am running this year in memory of the wonderful 25 years I was able to share with him. My grandpa’s journey inspires me because he fought until the very end. The thing I hold closest to my heart about my grandpa’s journey is that he selflessly held on long enough to meet my son and his first great grandson. The weekend my son was born was the same weekend my grandpa was moved to hospice care. On October 25th, I was able to introduce my grandpa to his great grandson. On October 26th, my grandpa left us to be in Heaven. Hoping to find some closure, I looked at my grandpa’s answers on a game we played at the baby shower where guests predicted the date and time of the baby’s birth. I found that my grandpa’s guess was the closest out of them all. He was only off by 24 minutes. It’s like he was unconsciously aware of the timing things would need to happen for him to meet his great grandson. It means the world to me. Baileigh Molnar is my college roommate and friend. She defeated Hodgkins Lymphoma in February of 2022. Baileigh’s journey inspires me because of her compassion and determination to help others. Baileigh approached her journey with cancer very transparently and vulnerably as an opportunity to raise awareness around the disease. When she was diagnosed, she chose to share her journey and all that she learned along the way on public Facebook and TikTok accounts. Through doing this she was able to help others be informed about symptoms to be aware of. Also, she was able to connect with people on similar paths and provided them comfort in knowing that they were not on the journey alone. She made it a mission to educate all that she could reach on chemo and radiation therapy so that the unknowns wouldn’t be so frightening. Thank you all for the continued support!

In September 2022, <a href="http://planetarium.osu.edu">Ohio State planetarium</a> will be opening its doors again to the public and we are excited to share a brand new, never before seen planetarium show that we at Ohio State have been working to produce for many years. The new show is about a Catholic priest and astrophysicist named <a href="https://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/curriculum-collections/cosmic-horizons-book/georges-lemaitre-big-bang">Georges Lemaitre</a> and the scientific work he and Edwin Hubble did to convince Albert Einstein that the universe is expanding. Lemaitre's ideas also helped lay the groundwork for what we now call Big Bang theory. Until now there has never been a planetarium show about Lemaitre's contributions to this very important moment in the history of science. We hope you come visit <a href="http://planetarium.osu.edu">Ohio State planetarium</a> to see the new show! We need your help because the new show relies on copyrighted content from an episode of Stephen Hawking's Universe which is owned by the BBC. We are trying to raise $5,000 to extend our license to use this content for public audiences at college planetariums in the US for another 3 years. Your donation will help us bring the show to college planetariums across the US! A donation of $5 will allow us to extend the license for one more day. $35 will allow us to extend the license for one more week. $150 will allow us to extend the license for one more month. 100% of the money raised will go to pay these licensing fees.

It has really reassured me that I am doing something right, I am making my parents proud and that I can be the pharmacist that I dream of being. I am forever grateful for this incredible opportunity.” — Kaitlyn Carson, BSPS Class of 2023 “I am so thankful for my scholarship because my mom is working two jobs, my dad is working very long hours and I’ve been working while in school. It’s just very difficult to pay for my schooling and my siblings schooling, and it’s really encouraging to know that there are people out there who want me to succeed.” — Bintou Fofana, BSPS Graduate Class of 2021, PharmD Candidate Class of 2025 Your gift helps to support the future of health care.

Tessa Marie's Cause For A Cure ARDS Fundraiser & Memorial Ride in honor of a beautiful life lost to soon. Tessa Marie Clagg was born April 16,1995. Tessa Marie gained her wings on February 09, 2020 at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Tessa passed away after she developed ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (ARDS). She was admitted to Fairfield Medical Center February 6, 2020. After an hour in the ICU unit she was put on a ventilator. She went to Ohio State on February 07, 2020. The doctors did everything possible to save her. Our family had no idea of what ARDS even was when Tessa lost her life to it. There is still very little information about it. As her mom I was totally lost trying to find answers. People need to know about ARDS AND THE OUTCOMES. Families should never be left wondering what something is or if it was preventable or how it was caused. This event is to raise awareness to ARDS to let others know the name of it, and to raise money to support the team of doctors at Ohio State currently trying to figure this medical condition out through research. It cannot be done alone the team at Ohio State needs our help. It may not help today, tomorrow or even in a year but someday it will help another family not say goodbye to their loved one. The Memorial Ride will be held on Saturday, October 1, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. We will only be collecting donations on this day. If you can make a donation you can do so the same day or via this page. Decals will also be available for donations only. All proceeds will go to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to aide in finding a cure for ARDS. We will travel around the Buckeye Lake, Ohio area making various stop to raise awareness to this rare life threatening condition. We would ask if possible to wear the color blue that day as that is the official color for ARDS. Every single penny counts. So be a part of something amazing be a part of saving another person's life. To learn more about ARDS, you can visit the Mayo Clinic website here: ARDS - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic

In Spring 2024, we traveled to the National Collegiate Rugby National 7s Tournament in Washington, DC. There we took home a bronze in the Women’s D1 Club Division. This year, we plan to head to the National Collegiate Rugby 15s Championship in Houston, Texas and take home gold! With those goals in mind, we now want to incorporate live game footage into our team routine. Live game footage would greatly improve our ability to learn from past mistakes, gain support from people outside of the community and ultimately carry us closer to gold in Houston.

It includes a combination of speed, strategy and strength. But, above all, it is a place of acceptance for our members. There is a position for all, no matter experience level or body type. Rugby is for everyone, whether they are large or tiny; tall or short. There is also a place for those who want to join a community that is as tight off the field as it is on the field. We train and play hard to win, but equally enjoy the time spent at post-game socials with our teammates and opponents. We are a community that thrives together and builds each others’ confidence and strength. It is a safe space no matter one’s identity, background or sexual orientation. With your support, we can continue this rugby tradition of class, dignity and acceptance. <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/32493/donate">Make your gift today!</a>

Life is short and it's time to celebrate – it’s been 15 years since my breast cancer diagnosis!! Unfortunately over that same time, several friends and my sister also endured surgeries and treatment after hearing the words “you have breast cancer.” Great advances are being made every day in breast cancer treatment and I'm committed more than ever to raising money to fight this disease. I’d love for you to attend my 15th annual "Life's Short, Eat Dessert First" fundraising event on Sunday, October 16.

The beneficiaries of my event this year are the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research and the William B Farrar Breast Cancer Fund. Why? Because both the William B Farrar Fund and the Stefanie Spielman Fund are devoted to advancing research in breast cancer and 100% of donations tied to this event go directly to research at Ohio State’s Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). Join me for your mom, your sister, your daughter, your friend, your neighbor and for YOU by attending and/or making a donation towards my 2022 Life's Short, Eat Dessert First event. I am beyond thrilled to share that the 2021 donation was an incredible $27,155! The highest yet by far - bringing the total over the first 14 years to more than $128,000! Thank you to everyone who contributed to last year's success! Dr. William Farrar and me with the check presentation for the 2021 event donation I’m thrilled to announce my featured speaker this year is Dr. Ramaswamy. In addition to being my medical oncologist, she is awesome and is a breast cancer survivor herself. She serves as section chief of Breast Medical Oncology at The James and as director of the Medical Oncology Fellowship Program for The Ohio State College of Medicine. She has been recognized by Forbes as one of the top 27 Breast Cancer Oncologists in the nation! Join me for an afternoon of incredible speakers, delicious homemade desserts, fun times and life-saving information! If you are unable to attend the event, you can still be a part of it by making a donation on this secure page and by participating in the online Silent Auction. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Your donation will go directly to The James and is automatically tied to my "Life's Short, Eat Dessert First" event!!

In our effort to bolster his legacy at Ohio State, please join us in establishing the William B. Farrar Breast Cancer Fund.

Our hope is that you and your family will join us for this unique Ohio agricultural leadership event to help build and strengthen the relationships that are the foundation of addressing issues and challenges facing our industry such as finding a cure for cancer. Cultivating a Cure Cultivating a Cure was founded in 2011 by Brent Porteus and his daughters, Amy and Beth, following the passing of his wife and their mother, Debbie, from metastatic breast cancer. The Porteus family’s desire is to support their passion for cancer research and prevention while remembering Debbie and all of those among our families who are currently fighting and have battled cancer. Cultivating a Cure also recognizes the value that is found when members of the agricultural community forge and develop their relationships and come together to accomplish so much—not only for this fundraising effort, but also for the purpose of addressing important issues facing the industry.

We’re looking forward to honoring our dad in a way that marries three of his favorite things: golf, donuts and The Ohio State University. It was after a day on the golf course in May of 2018 that George suffered the seizure that led to his diagnosis of Glioblastoma, the most common brain malignancy and one that is almost always fatal; only 25% of patients survive more than a year. George received top-notch care and treatment at the Neuro-oncology department at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). Always one to look on the bright side, he felt very fortunate to be within a stone’s throw of the hospital where a multidisciplinary team of researchers are dedicated to developing and conducting leading-edge research that advances innovative breakthroughs and treatments for patients with brain tumors. These specialists are leading research in high-tech, state-of-the-art laboratories not available anywhere else in central Ohio (and one of only a handful in the country), transforming the way brain tumors are detected, treated and managed. The mission: to translate research findings quickly and effectively into treatments that will improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with brain tumors. One of the most exciting ventures in Neuro-oncology currently is the treatment of brain tumors by using a variety of immune system responses. Immune therapies include development of vaccines against tumor cells, using therapies that boost the immune system, modified viruses that can infect tumors and stimulate an immune response against them and modified immune cells (T-cells) that are engineered to fight cancer. Our mission is to bring hope to the men and women diagnosed with primary brain tumors every day and raise funds to support the innovative research necessary for a cure. Please join us in funding innovative research and programs that will save lives. Your donation will directly fund ground-breaking brain tumor research (including clinical trials), research training and early detection. Please consider making a donation of any amount that is meaningful to you. Each gift will help change lives and bring the OSUCCC – James closer to conquering brain cancer.

The Ohio State Crew team is a student-run organization, not sponsored by university athletics. We proudly pay for our own equipment, coaching, travel and lodging – a budget that annually exceeds $130,000. Itʼs no small task, but then again we aren’t your average Buckeyes. Please help us maintain our tradition with a donation today! Our goal of $5,000 will be used to help fund our trip to the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA) national championship regatta. After not being able to compete at ACRA for the last two years due to COVID-19, we are more ready than ever to race at our championship. The regatta takes place on May 20-22 in Oak Ridge, TN on what many call America's Favorite Rowing Venue. The team will be racing against 60+ other universities with the clear goal of being the first boat across the finish line. The student-athletes on this team work hard for the opportunity to participate in this sport. Members must individually contribute or fundraise membership dues per year in order to participate. Money should never be the reason someone loses an opportunity to row, and every dollar we raise helps us achieve that! In addition to keeping up with their studies, athletes practice 6 days a week, waking up at 4:30 AM to make it to practice on time. Many of our teammates hold jobs or participate in other extracurricular activities; such as other clubs, fraternities or sororities, multiple club sports teams and more. On most weekends that we are not racing, we are working to help out our community through the Rent-A-Rower program. This is where we do yard work, moving tasks or other heavy lifting for the Columbus community as a fundraiser for our team. A trip to ACRA for 50 student-athletes plus our coaching staff will have the following expenses:<ul><li>2 nights in a hotel: $4,000</li><li>Gas money for the teammates driving: $1,250</li><li>Gas for the trailer: $1,250</li><li>Regatta entry/affiliate fees: $1,500</li></ul> TOTAL = $8,000 Anything you contribute today will directly help an athlete as we train to compete for the national championship title. See you at the finish line at ACRA! ROW BUCKS!

James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James). From 2012-2022 including the match, we have raised a total of $686,000! The experience with Give 18 inspired Katie and I to take on our own new challenge. We created an endowed fund at OSUCCC-James that will support ovarian cancer research - The Kline Family Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research! Through our personal experience and the joy of having our friends and family together, we are excited to raise money for important cancer research and ask for your participation by donating to support our family fund.

If you would like to provide any additional support, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=313428">here</a>. The LiFEsports initiative has been using sport “to prepare youth for life and leadership” since 2009. More than 10,000 deserving young people in our community have directly participated in our summer camp and clinic programming. LiFEsports recognizes that youth sports are about much more than playing ball – it’s about giving young people skills they can use both on and off the field. That’s why LiFEsports uses athletics to teach youth valuable life skills. Our activities focus on four critical social skills that will help them grow and mature: Self-control, Effort, Teamwork and Social Responsibility, or S.E.T.S. This summer, LiFEsports is working to offer summer camp programming in not just one but six different locations: Ohio State’s main campus, the Beatty Community Center, the Linden Community Center, the Adams Community Center, Riverside Elementary (Dublin City schools) and Heyward Middle School (Springfield City Schools). It is clear that LiFEsports programming is even more crucial this summer given the challenges youth and their families have faced over the past few years. We want to be ready to serve them and you play a crucial role in making that happen. This summer, we play it forward. The LiFEsports summer camps this year will be about playing it forward. Our camps will teach our youth the life skills they need to move forward from the uncertainty of the past few years with confidence, courage and hope. These moments are not only memories that last a lifetime for our youth, they are also moments that can be key in their development. In order to do that, we need your help. Will you join us in playing it forward in 2022? Your gift today will help LiFEsports continue to impact our community, one child at a time.

If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRM-S-PP-ClosedPage&fund=603032">make a gift</a> here. My name is Craig Hazelett. I wanted to help create this page in honor and memory of my father, Hal Hazelett, who passed away in 2001. My father was a well-known, well-loved man by all who encountered him. He had a servant’s heart and touched countless lives by his gifts of time, talent, and generosity. He was a founding faculty member at Ohio State Marion, and he taught there for more than 50 years. He was dubbed one of the “first nighters” because he began teaching that first night for Ohio State Marion classes held at Harding High School in 1957. He always felt honored to teach for The Ohio State University at Marion. Hal was honored with one of the eight Founding Fathers marble benches located on campus at Ohio State Marion. He was a World War II Veteran, having served in the United States Navy as a radio operator. His love for country and fellow citizens was evidenced by his wide variety of involvement in many civic and service organizations including church, Boy Scouts, parent teacher organizations, YMCA and more. The phrase “Everybody Knew Him” fit my dad. People still remember him and share memories of ways he positively touched their lives. Numerous students have cited Dad’s dedication and enthusiasm for his profession and his focus on their success. The common thread was, “if it was not for your father, I may not have made it thru the math requirement to graduate!!” He really loved tutoring students who needed a little help. The Hal Hazelett Endowment Fund was created in his honor to support to students who demonstrate financial need, have a 2.8 or higher grade point average and are enrolled at Ohio State Marion, with preference given to students who demonstrate interest in pursuing careers in math, science, or education. Please consider donating to my Hal’s scholarship fund. Your support is appreciated! When you donate to the fund, you will receive a gift acknowledgement letter from Ohio State that you can use for tax purposes.

When I arrived at Moritz, I immediately felt at home talking to faculty, staff and students. At the 2014 B1G Championship Game against Wisconsin in Indianapolis (59-0) Over the next three years, I was able to receive an elite legal education, make lifelong connections and enjoy life as a Buckeye.

The success of our program has been in large part due to the annual donations provided by family, friends and alumni of the program that help offset the $60,000 annual budget. Our $15,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses:<ul><li>Field Rentals - Our home field, Beekman Field, is now a parking lot and we have to travel up to 45 minutes away from campus to be able to play.</li><li>Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags and training items</li><li>Travel for conference, Spring Training and post-season games<ul><li>Includes hotels, van rentals and fuel</li></ul></li><li>Umpire Fees</li><li>Home, away and alternate uniforms</li></ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 275 teams divided into 2 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Panama City, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has a .688 win percentage over the past 21 seasons versus college teams and 12 playoff appearances over the past 8 seasons. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with current rankings of #10 out of 132 teams for DI and #5 out of 142 teams for DII. We sincerely appreciate any donation amount you can provide and your thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and Go Buckeyes!

Thank you to everyone who helped us reach 205% of our goal for the Brad Richardson Memorial Fund from February 1 – Feb. 28, 2022 by raising $4,110! It is amazing to see how many lives he impacted throughout his career on campus and in the community. To build on Brad Richardson’s contribution to Ohio State, the State of Ohio and the community of Japan-related scholars and professionals, the Ohio State Institute for Japanese Studies (IJS) has created the Brad Richardson Memorial Fund and seeks to grow it to the endowment level. Brad Richardson was a Distinguished University Professor in Political Science, the IJS founding Director, and a former Honorary Consul General of Japan for Ohio. Brad passed away in 2015. The Memorial Fund will be used to propel us vigorously towards the same goals that Brad promoted. Namely, the funds will support academic and outreach activities that promote Japanese Studies on campus and that enhance the interest, knowledge and discourse on Japan-related topics in the academic communities and general public. Until the contributions to the fund reach the endowment level, the fund shall function as a current-use fund. 2022 Brad Richardson Memorial Lecture: <a href="https://easc.osu.edu/events/ijs-2022-brad-richardson-memorial-lecture-christine-yano-bridging-divides-work-cultural">Bridging Divides: The Work of Cultural Ambassadorships in Contemporary Japan</a> February 21, 2022, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. ET Christine Yano, University of Hawai'i at Manoa Online (<a href="https://osu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RFKgLzPdQnC8wyL-KfxzPA">Registration Required</a>) With post-lecture discussant: <ul><li>Mari Noda Professor, Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures, The Ohio State University</li></ul>

If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://giveto.osu.edu/makeagift?fund=313815&Source_Code=AGCHRI-CMP-S-ON-BFiGive">make a gift</a> here. Santino Carnevale has found himself within the cancer world the entirety of his life. In March 2006, just 10 days after Santino’s parents, Michael and Brooke Carnevale, discovered they were expecting a child, his father was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma—a rare head and neck cancer. In 2015, at only 9 years old, Santino made the decision to stand up and do something in the fight against cancer. At such a young age, he already possessed a desire to help others going through similar battles. Santino began by organizing a lemonade stand and bake sale. Santino intended to honor his father, as well as his grandfather, the late Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes, who passed away when Santino was 4 years old from pancreatic cancer.. The first year of the lemonade stand, Santino’s efforts raised an astounding $5,000 and he has never looked back. Santino formed his initiative known as “Santino’s Crusade for a Cancer-Free World”. In addition to the annual lemonade stand and bake sale, Santino hosts an Ohio State Tailgate party in downtown West Jefferson, OH. His family, friends and classmates have joined him in his efforts. Santino is widely known throughout The James as one of the youngest adolescents to establish a fund and is often referred to as “Santino, the Cancer Crusader!” Santino created the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund at The OSUCCC-James in his beloved father’s honor in 2015. Unfortunately, Michael succumbed to his long battle with cancer in the fall of 2016, but that hasn’t slowed Santino’s efforts in the least. Proceeds raised from Santino’s initiatives have exceeded over $130,000 for the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund! In addition, Santino was the recipient of the 2018 Jefferson Award, to recognize individuals who do extraordinary things in their community without expecting anything in return. To date, Santino is the youngest person in history to receive the prestigious Jefferson Award. Santino also serves as a member of the James Ambassadors Society at The OSUCCC-James and is the youngest member inducted into the Society. He is an invaluable member in the community and an inspiration to all at The James. Please donate and join his Crusade for a Cancer-Free World!!

The John Glenn College of Public Affairs has offered an exciting opportunity for Ohio State students to study and work in the nation's capital for 22 years! The Washington Academic Internship Program (WAIP) selects outstanding undergraduates from any major to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. as John Glenn Fellows. The last 2 years have certainly been challenging, but as you know, we pivoted WAIP to a fully virtual format temporarily so students could still intern with a DC-based organization, gain professional development and build their network in Washington. In the fall of 2021, with great excitement, we reopened our doors to students in DC once again. I’m proud to share we welcomed 12 Glenn Fellows back to DC in-person this fall. How did we get through this challenging chapter of WAIP and still help future public servants access DC? Because of you and this campaign, students were able to return to Washington for an in-person experience. Your donation offset the cost of housing, making the program accessible to students. This year our goal is to bring the program back to pre-pandemic capacity and with nearly 30 students participating this summer, the need for scholarships is greater than ever. The pandemic has been challenging for us all. For Glenn Fellows, the challenges include less availability of jobs, parent job losses and fewer internship opportunities. Students still need your support. The students participating in WAIP this year have largely experienced college in a virtual and hybridized format; let’s get them to DC for a truly immersive, life-changing experience! For the past 7 years, supporters of WAIP have come together every February to make the program more accessible for Ohio State students. Thanks to your support, we have: <ul><li>Raised $145,351 </li><li>Secured 1,027 donations </li><li>Funded 27 housing scholarships</li><li>Funded 29 stipends for students during virtual WAIP, amid the pandemic </li><li>Supported 56 John Glenn Fellows</li><li>Made WAIP more accessible, career-launching and life-changing </li></ul> We at WAIP remain committed to offering the program, and we believe our mission to train the next generation of public servants is greater than ever. While in WAIP, John Glenn Fellows remain fully registered Ohio State students. Students earn academic credit hours for their internship, the research seminar in which a policy paper is developed and a course on policymaking and public service in the Washington community. Students will deepen their understanding of policy issues through weekly professional development workshops with experts. Friday study tours each week will also allow students to explore and experience different aspects of Washington. Participants in the program meet policy professionals and interact with Ohio State alumni in the region. This interaction has value far beyond the semester in which the students are involved in the program. Real opportunities are presented for career advice, professional development and cross-generational exchange. Many participants return to Washington after graduation and credit their early success in landing their first job out of college to WAIP. WAIP plays a critical role in the professional development of Buckeyes interested in public service. Help us ensure that every deserving student has the chance to participate. Thank you for supporting our 7th annual WAIP crowdfunding campaign! I wanted to share a change in how the alumni association is recognizing alumni donors. They have recently expanded alumni membership to include gifts of all sizes, with an emphasis on "life donor," which is an annual cumulative contribution of $150.

Buckeyes in Law: Moritz DC Summer Program 2022

By Moritz College of Law

Make a gift to help fund scholarships for students in the Moritz DC Summer Program 2022.

Make a gift to help fund scholarships for students in the Moritz DC Summer Program 2022. Moritz College of Law February 7, 2022, Update: The second annual Moritz DC Summer Program Buckeye Funder is now closed. Thanks to all of you who contributed and supported the campaign. While the Buckeye Funder is closed, you can donate any time during the year to <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=317150">the Law Washington, DC Summer Program Scholarship Fund</a> (Fund Number: 317150), and the donations to this fund all go to provide scholarship assistance for students enrolled in the law school's DC summer program. Your donation will also be counted toward this year's Buckeye Funder initiative if given before April 15, 2022 (otherwise will go toward the 2023 summer program). Thanks again! - Professor Chris Walker Since 2003, the Michael E. Moritz College of Law has offered an amazing opportunity for Ohio State law students to study and work in Washington, DC each summer. The <a href="http://go.osu.edu/MoritzDC">Moritz DC Summer Program</a> annually places about twenty law students in summer internships in DC—usually in unpaid internships and most often at federal agencies, on the Hill and at non-profits. As part of the summer program, <a href="https://moritzlaw.osu.edu/christopher-j-walker">Professor Christopher Walker</a> teaches a course entitled the Ethics of Washington Lawyering, the students write a final term paper based on a substantive legal topic related to their internship, and they meet with dozens of prominent lawyers in DC, including agency general counsels, White House lawyers, members of Congress, federal judges and top-flight public interest litigators—to provide just a few examples. For more information on the Moritz DC Summer Program, check out the program website <a href="http://go.osu.edu/MoritzDC">here</a>. The Moritz DC Summer Program attracts some of our sharpest students, including many who are interested in careers in government and public service. Including this summer, 375 Ohio State law students will have participated in the program. These students make a substantial investment to participate in the program, including last year tuition and fees in the amount of $8,445.40 for Ohio residents and $10,718.00 for nonresidents in addition to living expenses. To make the Moritz DC Summer Program more accessible to our students and to help provide more financial flexibility for students in the program to pursue public-interest employment opportunities after graduation, we are launching our second annual Buckeye Funder campaign to encourage alums, supporters and friends of Ohio State to invest in our amazing students. Our goal is to raise $20,000 in scholarships through this initiative, which will be divided equally among the roughly twenty students enrolled in the 2022 Moritz DC Summer Program. Please make a gift to support our Buckeyes in Law in DC and spread the word to fellow Buckeye alums, friends and supporters!

Center for Foodborne Illness Research & Prevention 2021

By Barbara Kowalcyk

Help us celebrate what should have been Kevin Kowalcyk’s 23nd birthday by supporting CFI’s efforts to prevent foodborne disease!

Help us celebrate what should have been Kevin Kowalcyk’s 23nd birthday by supporting CFI’s efforts to prevent foodborne disease! Barbara Kowalcyk Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=483541">here</a>. As a parent, one often has expectations and dreams of who their child will become and what they will achieve in their lifetime. This was the same for the parents of Kevin Kowalcyk, who should be celebrating his 23nd birthday on December 10th. In 2001, Kevin died from complications due to an E. Coli O157:H7 infection; he was only 2 ½ years old. For Kevin’s family, this left them with a plethora of unanswered questions, but a relentless desire to seek answers and better understand the food industry and food safety disciplines. Fueled by his passing, Barbara Kowalcyk, Kevin’s mother, and grandmother, Patricia Buck devoted their careers to preventing others from getting sick or dying from contaminated food and promoting stronger food safety policies and practices that protect public health. The Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention (CFI) was founded as a non-profit organization by Kowalcyk and Buck in 2006 with the aim to facilitate, encourage, and promote research on food safety; translate and communicate science and its implications for food safety to stakeholders; and work to implement a stronger, more science-based food system that prevents foodborne diseases on behalf of consumers. In 2019, Kowalcyk joined the faculty at The Ohio State University and brought CFI to the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. Kevin’s story continues to invigorate and remind us all, as individuals, of the importance of food safety and preventing foodborne illness. Over the past 20 years, CFI has helped bring important food safety reforms, improved regulatory inspection practices, and earned a reputation as a leader in food safety. Among its many contributions, CFI collaborated with other groups to develop, pass and implement the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (FSMA), which was the first major overhaul of food safety oversight at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in more than 70 years. CFI also joined multiple efforts to strengthen government resources for national and state food safety programs, and led an effort to require mandatory labeling of mechanically tenderized beef products, which have been associated with foodborne illnesses. In 2002, Kevin’s Law was introduced as the Meat and Poultry Pathogen Reduction and Enforcement Act to the House of Representatives. Although it did not pass, elements of Kevin’s Law have been incorporated in different legislatures throughout the years: FMSA of 2010, Foodborne Illness Reduction Act of 2011, and Safe Meat and Poultry Act of 2013. If Kevin's Law had passed, the United States would be much further along in controlling/preventing foodborne diseases, especially Salmonella, which is the country’s largest foodborne killer. Foodborne illness is a serious public health issue that causes an estimated 600 million illnesses and 420,000 deaths globally each year. CFI’s mission is to advance a more scientific, risk-based food safety system that prevents these illnesses and protects public health by translating science into policy and practice. Much positive social change has already resulted through years of tireless commitment to bring about food safety reform and advancement at CFI; however, there is still much more to accomplish in the food safety industry. Please, consider contributing to CFI’s fight towards achieving food safety advancements and reform by making a donation or joining the CFI Food Safety Consortium. This will provide further funding for CFI to support student experiential learning opportunities, on-campus events, purchase research supplies, continue statistical software subscriptions, travel to domestic and international food safety meetings, and much more. We thank you very much for your support! Happy Birthday, Kevin! Check out our food safety research projects on the CFI website: <a href="https://foodsafety.osu.edu/research">foodsafety.osu.edu</a>.

Your support will truly make a difference for a student — whether they are working to complete a semester, a research project or a degree. Here's how your investment in the Byrd Center will help make that difference. Internships for local high school students. In 2022, the Byrd Center will partner with The Ohio State University Libraries to place Central Ohio youth from underrepresented populations into paid summer science internships at the Byrd Center. Each intern will complete 20-24 hours per week over 10 weeks, and will be assigned an internship supervisor as well as a mentor who will lead weekly soft skill building workshops. Support for the Byrd Center helps provide transportation and meal costs plus a stipend for each intern. The Byrd Center hopes to fund 2-3 interns for the summer of 2022. Help future scientists grow. Byrd Center gifts enrich critical undergraduate research opportunities through <a href="https://byrd.osu.edu/awards/mckenzie-brecher">The Garry McKenzie and Henry Brecher Endowed Scholarship</a>, which provides funds for lab work, field research, supplies and publication of undergraduate projects. The McKenzie-Brecher Scholarship has funded the early research experiences of 18 undergraduate scientists since it was created in 2009. The scholarship honors the lifelong dedication of Garry McKenzie, Ohio State professor emeritus of geological sciences, author and longtime Byrd supporter. Henry Brecher is a retired Byrd Center paleoclimatologist and research associate with decades of fieldwork in polar and mountain glacier regions around the world. Nurturing graduate research projects. <a href="https://byrd.osu.edu/awards/toracinta">The Richard E. Toracinta Endowed Scholarship</a> helps graduate students conduct research critical to their growth as scientists. This award provided the funding for laboratory and research supplies, travel and opportunities to work with leaders in atmospheric sciences. Currently we are only able to give this award every other year. Gifts for the Byrd Center will help grow the endowment so we can award this annually and support more student scientists. Dr. E. Richard (Rick) Toracinta was a talented research scientist with the Byrd Center's Polar Meteorology Group. In addition to his polar work, Rick had a passion for severe weather and was a volunteer storm chaser on the Great Plains. This scholarship commemorates Rick's lasting interest in atmospheric science as well as his desire to be a teacher. <a href="https://byrd.osu.edu/awards/toracinta"></a> Thank you for helping fulfill the dreams of Byrd Center Scholars!

Make a gift to Veterinary Medicine's Small Animal Surgery Support fund in honor of Cooper and the life-saving surgery he received at Ohio State. [[Amount Raised]] raised toward my $5,000 goal Although this giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-OTH-S-PP-ClosedPage&fund=310057">make a gift</a> here. On September 30th, Cooper wasn't feeling well. He wasn't eating, was very lethargic, puking and we could hear his stomach gurgling for a few hours. Thinking he had an upset stomach, we weren't too worried until he did not get better as the day went on. That night, we decided to take him to Ohio State to get checked out. The Vet called and said that they were going to do some testing and an ultrasound and would call us back with next steps. We got the phone call shortly after that Cooper needed emergency surgery. Cooper's intestines were bunched up like an accordion from some baby wipes and a piece of blanket he ate weeks prior. He had been passing the wipes through his stool and acting normal, so we had no idea he had this obstruction for weeks. His intestines were trying to push the foreign objects through but instead, were creating a wad and could not pass. So he got a surgery on his stomach and intestines. We were relieved Cooper's surgery went well and he got to come home a few days later. Unfortunately, when he got home, he was even more lethargic and seemed to be in pain so back to Ohio State we went. More bad news: Cooper had an infection of his wound. Dr. Biggo (his original surgeon) suggested a second surgery to culture the wound to pinpoint the bacteria and then flush out the incision. We agreed and were hopeful. The bacteria found was common E. coli. Once again, his surgery went well and we were hoping for him to come home in a few days. However, his second surgery incision did not go well as the tissue kept dying around the sutures and opening up his entire abdominal wall. With it not being able to stay closed, he could get more infection and also his organs could eventually fall out. So back to surgery he went. Once the third surgery was over, Cooper had a large open wound so that Dr. Biggo and her team could monitor it. But, once again, his tissue was dying and nothing seemed to be working. By this point, Cooper had three surgeries in 2 weeks, hadn't eaten in several days and was miserable. A different vet called and told us that we should highly consider humane euthanasia. However, Dr. Biggo didn't want to give up on Cooper. As we were on our way to put Cooper down, she called with one more option. Another surgery and another culture to determine if he had some other bacteria growing that her team wasn't aware of. We agreed to the fourth surgery because we desperately wanted to save our pup. The culture came back that Cooper had E. coli which had morphed into a rare form and that is why all of his tissue was dying and his abdominal wall sutures would not stay in tact. The good news is that we finally knew what type of bacteria was affecting Cooper's wound, but to treat this rare E. coli, Dr. Biggo and her team had to put on full PPE and administer it by injection to Cooper several times a day. The antibiotic started working and each day Cooper got better. We were still leery, but after 7 full days on the antibiotic and no signs of issues along with the fact that Cooper started eating again, we were so excited. Cooper had his fifth surgery to completely close up his wound where he had a microbial antibiotic placed under his stitches. Cooper came home after being in the hospital in ICU for 20 days. Dr. Biggo, Dr. Sekhar. Vet Technician, Mariah, and the rest of the team did not give up on Cooper. They worked overtime on weekends, gave us at least 2-3 updates daily, were compassionate and kind. They did everything they humanly could to ensure that they saved his life. We could not be more grateful. The purpose of this fundraiser is to help the Small Animal Surgery team in funding so they can keep saving the lives of other people's pet family members.

We are proud to join forces with the Michigan Daily, the student newspaper for that school up north, in our own rivalry to raise funds for our news operations. With The Daily newsroom, we work to report on The Game in a manner that’s unprecedented in our 139-year history. The Lantern’s rich tradition of tirelessly serving as the student voice for Ohio State students, faculty, staff and alumni remains unchanged since our first newspaper was printed in 1881. Though the technologies and techniques available to our students evolve with the times, especially in this multimedia and digital-minded age, the laboratory that is The Lantern newsroom continues as a collaborative, investigative and creative space for student reporters. Today’s student journalists experience the same challenges and triumphs of storytelling as their predecessors. The Lantern needs your help to face a new and growing challenge. The Lantern is entirely supported by the money it makes from its advertising. Just like many professional newspapers, our student newspaper’s financial future is threatened by decreasing print advertising revenues. That is why we are building an endowment, a fund that will provide a reliable source of income year after year. Your donation will help build this endowment, which will help us pay for the following expenses:<ul><li>Equipment such as cameras, laptops, newsroom computers and software.</li><li>Printing and distribution of the newspaper.</li><li>Travel costs to cover away, bowl, championship and tournament games.</li><li>Monthly stipends for The Lantern editing staff.</li></ul> In the spirit of that rivalry, we also don’t want to lose to our journalistic colleagues in this fundraising challenge.

The wonders of science are all around us! The Wonders of Our World (WOW) science outreach program at The Ohio State University brings creative, hands-on science experiments to elementary school classrooms (grades K-5). The program was founded by Dr. Susan Olesik in 1999 in collaboration with Chapman Elementary in the Dublin City Schools. Today, the WOW program works with three Columbus City Elementary Schools at a time, adopting each school for three years. In this three-year period, we cover a variety of science unit topics (biology, chemistry, physics, electricity, sound, plants, space and more) and visit every classroom once a month. We work with roughly 46 teachers from three schools and around 1,000 elementary school aged children every year. The WOW program is a collaborative science outreach education program between active scientists and elementary school teachers. The WOW Program is made possible with help from over 70 Ohio State science and engineering undergraduate students. In addition to Ohio State students, the WOW Program has affiliates with local science organizations, Battelle and CAS. These partners volunteer in the classrooms so that elementary school students can learn scientific and engineering processes from a local scientist or engineer. Recently, in response to the public health crisis, our programs shifted to a virtual format. We are in the process of implementing these virtual programs that were created last year. We hope to successfully design several kits for each of our schools to participate in these activities. Once we return to our hands-on, back-to-normal schedule, we would like to continue to support our schools with supply kits. When a Columbus City elementary school graduates from the WOW program, the school has manuals to conduct the experiments, but not the actual supplies. We would like to distribute kits that would include materials from all of our 15 units so teachers can continue the WOW experiments. National science scores have improved at the schools we work with, and we want to help these scores continue to improve even after they complete our program. With your support, we hope to develop kits for each school so that students can continue to benefit from WOW now and after they graduate from our program. Your contribution to our fundraiser will make development of these kits possible! Help us spread the excitement of science to the scientists of tomorrow! If you would like to learn more about the WOW program, please visit <a href="http://wow.osu.edu/">wow.osu.edu</a>. Thank you for your support!

Sports empower young people. Some children, however, don't have the chance to participate. Your support can change that and impact their lives!

LiFEsports Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=313428">here</a>. The LiFEsports initiative has been using sport “to prepare youth for life and leadership” since 2009. More than 8,000 deserving young people in our community have directly participated in our summer camp and clinic programming. LiFEsports recognizes that youth sports are about much more than playing ball – it’s about giving young people skills they can use both on and off the field. That’s why LiFEsports uses athletics to teach youth valuable life skills. Our activities focus on four critical social skills that will help them grow and mature: Self-control, Effort, Teamwork and Social Responsibility, or S.E.T.S. Each summer, LiFEsports serves more than 700 campers. Campers are engaged year-round through clinics that allow LiFEsports to maintain caring, positive relationships with our youth and provide additional educational opportunities on targeted social skills. The LiFEsports Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) is dedicated to preparing high school youth for college and careers through leadership and life skills. Youth participate in bi-monthly education and mentoring sessions throughout the academic year and then serve as junior camp counselors during the summer camp program. In addition to serving youth in the community, LiFEsports works year-round to provide teaching and learning opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in the field of sport-based positive youth development (PYD). Our goal is to prepare tomorrow's leaders for the field of sports-based PYD and beyond. PASS IT ON! LiFEsports works year-round to provide programming for youth, conducts research to discover best practices and invests in the teaching and learning of future youth development professionals. These programs wouldn't be possible without the philanthropic support of donors. We need your help to make the pass, take the shot, score the goal and win the game! Will you join us in passing it on? Your gift today will help LiFEsports continue to impact our community, one child at a time.

We want to celebrate not only the students in the program there, but the students who resided in SSP when it was located in Mack Hall. It's those students and alumni who handled the transition to a new location and kept the program thriving while also available to our current residents. And, of course, we celebrate those alumni who were residents in the Stadium Dorm itself, where it all started. Time and again we have heard from students who have told us still today "without the Stadium Scholarship Program and the cost reduction it offers, I would have not been able to attend Ohio State." Our goal is to award more scholarships for more students in SSP. We need your help to do that. This year, the Stadium Scholarship Alumni Society is participating in a unique opportunity, a grassroots fundraising effort led by Ohio State's first Lady, Veronica Meinhard. We are excited to share that all gifts made to our scholarship fund through the month of October will be matched dollar for dollar up to $30,000 by "champion" donors. Your support will help us raise $60,000 or more for scholarships! If you have donated in previous years, we thank you! We ask for your continued support but better yet, send this link to 5 friends you keep in contact with from the program and let them know the Stadium Scholarship Program is continuing to support students in much the same way it assisted them through their college years. We especially want to hear from SSP Mack Hall and Scholars East & West Alumni to celebrate those re-growth years of the Stadium Scholarship Program. No donation is too small and remember every donation you give will be doubled because of our Champion donors' matching gifts. If you can, please consider a monthly donation so your giving will support this important cause throughout the year. Lastly, keep in touch with the Stadium Scholarship Alumni Society on social media or through <a href="https://stadiumscholarship.alumni.osu.edu/">our website</a>.

When making your gift online, you can also submit a message to your veterinarian to show your appreciation and let them know how they made a difference in your pet’s life. We'll share your notes with your veterinarian during the last week in November—so be sure to make your gift today!

He has a lifelong passion for automobile racing, having been a racer himself and is now mentoring and leading the Paschal Performance racing team. Unfortunately, Clifford has been battling Leukemia since 2017. Initially diagnosed with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), his disease transformed into Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat cancers there is. Clifford relates that the MD Anderson Cancer Center told him that he had 12-18 months to live; The Mayo Clinic gave him 24 months. Now in year four of his battle with leukemia, he continues to fight AML thanks to unique approaches, cutting-edge treatments, innovative clinical trials and top-notch patient care at The Ohio State University’s James Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of the leading leukemia centers in the world. Clifford’s treatment journey has been shaped by the shared values of his treatment team and himself: recognizing that AML is incurable today, he seeks to find balance in disease control and quality of life. Believing in something bigger than himself, Clifford has a vision of a cure for AML one day, and wants you to join his team. Your contribution in honor of Clifford Paschal supports the Clifford Paschal Fund for AML Research at the James Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Corbató Memorial Fund for Field Geoscience Education supports student field work in the School of Earth Sciences at The Ohio State University. The Fund, established by his family, embraces the hands-on learning at the long-standing Ohio State summer field camp in Ephraim, Utah and other student field trips at which Dr. Corbató enjoyed teaching so much. Dr. Corbató joined the Ohio State Department of Geology in 1966. He soon was promoted to Professor and served as chair of the newly merged Department of Geology and Mineralogy from 1972 to 1980. In addition to conducting his own field work in California and Washington State, he taught at undergraduate field camps in California and Utah over parts of 24 summers. His most memorable field experience came during the 1972-73 austral summer when he was a leading member of an Ohio State geology field party that worked for seven weeks in a remote area of Antarctica to map a section of the Transantarctic Mountain Range. At Ohio State, he served on numerous academic committees and was appointed Associate Provost in 1987. He retired from Ohio State in 1992. He was a life member of the American Geophysical Union and recognized as a Senior Fellow of the Geological Society of America. After his retirement, he worked for the Ohio Board of Regents and later volunteered within the Ohio State Medical Center. Contributions to this fund will extend Dr. Corbató's enduring legacy of teaching field geology and building awareness of earth processes and the outdoor environment generally. These gifts are deeply meaningful to his family and to aspiring students in these programs.

Griffin East Ballroom, 2nd Floor 1739 N High St. | Columbus, OH 43210 Attire: Business Casual Featured speakers include David Carbone, MD, PhD and Heidi Onda, Founder of the White Ribbon Project *Breath of Hope and The OSUCCC - James are committed to the health and safety of our community. During the event at the Ohio Union, we encourage guests to wear a mask except when eating or drinking, regardless of vaccination status. If you have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or are experiencing any symptoms, we ask that you please do not attend the event. The “Breath of Hope” Gala was started by Sandy and Mark Lomeo after Mark was diagnosed with lung cancer in April 2014. They were surprised to discover the lack of funding for lung cancer as compared to many other types of cancer. They decided to raise money by having a dinner gala. They formed a steering committee (created by Annie Cacciato) to advance their cause. Fundraising efforts from the event support “Blue Beautiful Skies” Fund to directly benefit the Thoracic Oncology Department at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) for awareness, research, new treatments and hopefully a cure. Presently, lung cancer has a dismal survival rate. It kills more people per year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. In fact, lung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer. Given the poor survival rates of lung cancer, your help is needed. Please, support “Breath of Hope” and its mission by either attending the upcoming event or by making a donation that is meaningful to you. Everyone Deserves a Breath of Hope. Our mission is to bring hope to the men and women diagnosed with lung cancer every day and raise funds to support the innovative research necessary for a cure. Check out our <a href="https://breathofhopeohio.org/">website</a> to learn more. Join us in funding innovative research and programs that will save lives. Your donation will directly fund ground-breaking basic and translational lung cancer research (including clinical trials), research training, early detection and lung cancer prevention led by internationally renowned lung cancer expert and cancer survivor, Dr. David Carbone at The James Thoracic Oncology Center. Please consider making a donation of any amount that is meaningful to you. Each gift will help change lives and bring The James closer to conquering lung cancer.

[[Amount Raised]] raised from [[Gifts Received]] gifts The Ohio State University Thank you for your generosity during One Big Week. Together, our universities raised over $600,000 from more than 5,800 gifts to support our students. You are providing students across our campuses with academic scholarships, health and wellness services, food and housing, and creating pathways to a college education for the next generation of leaders. 1Goal. Endless possibilities for our students. Individually we are great. Together we are even bigger and better. For more than 125 years, the institutions that make up the Big Ten have been leaders in shaping the collegiate experience. A defining pillar of this leadership has always been supporting our students. From September 12 – 18, the One Big Week Campaign will unite our Big Ten institutions to collectively champion our students. During this time, your gift to our campaign will support scholarships — and students’ futures. Scholarships are a lifeline. Financial assistance is crucial to students’ success, empowering them to focus on their studies, pursue internships and volunteer in our communities to become leaders of today and tomorrow.

Kendra Thomas '17, '21 PharmD "Receiving the scholarship gave me the chance to reappraise my dreams for the future. The additional years of study allowed me to do work that was purposeful. The scholarship also motivated me to stay focused and finish. It’s a lot easier to pursue your dream when you have someone cheering you on." Demondre Peak, MSW ’21, College of Social Work "You never really know what else that student you are supporting is going through, and you can be the reason they are able to graduate and make a huge contribution to society."

Willie was a tireless champion for town-gown relations between Columbus and the university, working with students, property owners and business managers on a wide variety of issues, building community, creating programs and inspiring engagement to support the academic success of commuter students and to make the off-campus area a safer and better place to live for all residents. He was one of the most beloved members of the university community, dedicating his career to serving students and taking a personal interest in their well-being, as well as serving as a mentor and advisor to countless students with wisdom and a sense of humor that led all who knew him to call him a friend. Celebrate Willie Young Sr.'s life by making a gift today to the Willie J. Young, Sr. Fund for Off-Campus and Commuter Student Engagement.

I knew right then and there that we would do anything necessary to defeat it, and that it would not end me - because there's just too much left to do at age 24. Thanks to the support of my close friends, family, co-workers and medical staffs with both the Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute and IU Health, I am in remission... after three surgeries, numerous chemotherapy rounds and two stem cell transplants. This experience will always be a part of me and I wish to help those in need, as I received assistance when it mattered most. This year, all funds donated will go directly to the Cancer Strategic Support Fund. This fund supports The James/Solove CHRI for strategic initiatives or research as directed by the CEO and the Senior Executive Director of The James. Too long; didn't read?

The Remote Area Medical Columbus Community Host Group (RAM CHG) is partnering with Remote Area Medical (RAM) to provide completely free medical, dental, and vision care to underserved and underinsured individuals and families in Columbus, Ohio. We hope to bring a 2-day clinic hosted at East High School on July 10-11th to serve a projected 400 patients or more in Central Ohio. Any person is welcome to the clinic and identification is not required to receive these free services. Our dental services include cleanings, fillings, or extractions. Vision patients may receive a pair of glasses made on the spot in our vision truck and an eye prescription free of charge. Dental and vision care are not routinely covered by original Medicare and are not typically offered at other free health clinics in the area. Our medical unit features routine medical check-ups and the opportunity to visit specialists in fields like women’s health. These services are made possible through the help of our incredible professional volunteers. The CHG is comprised mostly of Ohio State undergraduates who have partnered with RAM USA to organize the location, fundraising, and hospitality aspects of this clinic. All while being full-time students, we have established partnerships with Columbus Public Health, Franklin County Public Health, Columbus Foundation, Ohio State College of Nursing, Case Western Dental School, Healthcare Collaborative of Greater Columbus, local non-profits, and many other community partners. We dreamed of bringing a RAM clinic to Columbus nearly two years ago and are thrilled to finally host one this July 2021. Your monetary donation supports this July’s clinic and future clinics. As we have continued this planning process, we have been overwhelmed by community support for our initiative. Please consider donating to continue to support the Columbus community in an impactful, profound way! <a href="https://www.ramusa.org/event/columbus-oh/">Learn more</a> about this event and receive additional information.

Dear Class of 1966, Our 55th College of Nursing reunion is October 8-9, 2021. Do you remember classes in Starling Loving, meals in the cafeteria of Neil Hall, crisp fall days on the Oval and in the Stadium? We do and hope you will join us to celebrate all these wonderful memories and more this fall. To honor and celebrate the Class of 1966, we are raising funds for the College of Nursing building addition project. Newton Hall, the College of Nursing building, is over 50 years old and the new addition is badly needed. Over the last several years the college has experienced tremendous growth in enrollment, and in the breadth and depths of initiatives of the academic programs, research and evidence-based practice. Currently there are approximately 2,400 students enrolled in the two undergraduate degree programs, three master's degree programs and two doctoral programs, as well as the 10 programs leading to certification. U.S. News & work Report ranks several of the degree programs and program specializations among the top ten in the nation. Additionally, the College has grown from 119 Faculty and Staff in 2012 to 341 today! Our class is coming together to establish a lasting legacy through philanthropic support to the building addition. We have a collective goal of raising $100,000 towards the naming of a space in the new building. We hope you will join us! Other Ways to Give By Phone Call <a href="tel:6142922141">614-292-2141</a>.

Jon & Laurie's Love

$999 raised from 17 gifts

Please consider making a gift in Jon & Laurie's honor, so that their love may continue to reach others.

Please consider making a gift in Jon & Laurie's honor, so that their love may continue to reach others. [[Amount Raised]] raised from [[Gifts Received]] gifts Like so many others, my mom Laurie was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and courageously fought for years until she passed on May 7, 2021. We found comfort in knowing she was being treated at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) by world renowned oncologist, Dr. Carbone. Him and his colleagues made it possible for us to have more time with her because of the exceptional care and treatments they gave her. Laurie dedicated her life to being a devoted mother and Nana. No matter where she went, people were drawn to her smile, kind nature and empathetic soul. Words cannot express how much she meant to her friends and family – and how deeply she will be missed. Laurie was simply too precious for this world. May her strength and compassion be an inspiration to us all. Please consider donating in Laurie's honor, so that her love may continue to reach others. November 2022 Update: Laurie's husband and my father, Jon, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer in September 2022. He bravely fought while in the care of OSUCCC – James, alongside many of the same doctors and nurses who my mom got to know during her time there. My dad and I found comfort in their familiar faces as well as sharing stories of our memories of her with them. This brought my dad and myself additional closure from that time of our lives. A very special shoutout to the team on The James 17th floor. Jon’s disease was very aggressive and although his will was to keep fighting, his body could not anymore. Before he was able to receive any treatment, he passed away November 7, 2022. Exactly 1 year and 7 months later and in the same room as his beloved wife. While losing both of my parents to the same disease within 2 years has been traumatic and incredibly difficult, I am very grateful that we live near such an amazing hospital. My hope is that the donations given in my parents’ honor will fund research that will one day allow patients to have more treatment options and ultimately more time with their loved ones.

If you would like to provide any additional support, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=317105">here</a>. Our Financial Planning Community Project takes undergraduate financial planning students out of the classroom and assigns them for a whole semester to a local financial advisor. The goal of this project is to connect our financial-planning students with the Financial Planning profession. In this project, pairs of financial planning students team up with a financial advisor for one semester, to provide three financial planning sessions free of charge to students in financial need. The 90-minute financial planning sessions, done by Zoom, start out with the student-planners interviewing the student-client to complete a cash flow statement, identify financial goals and develop specific financial questions for the financial advisor. Next, the financial advisor develops an action plan for the student-client while the student-planners take notes. After the student-client has left the financial planning session, financial advisor and student-planners debrief and finalize the action plan for the student-client in writing. The action plan is later shared with the student-client by email. The community project is a collaborative effort between the Financial Planning Association of Central Ohio and our three academic institutions in Columbus, Ohio. We launched the project in Autumn semester 2020 and have already engaged over the course of two semesters a total of 35 financial advisors from independent RIAs in Central Ohio with 120 financial planning students and served close to 150 student-clients. This program will connect financial planning students to local professionals in their field of study, it will provide potential talent to local financial planning firms, and it will serve students in need of financial advice. We will provide a needed service in the community and encourage more diverse groups of students to participate and choose a career in Financial Planning.

Pancreatic Cancer Fundraiser in Memory of Toni Roberts

If you would like to provide any additional support, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRM-S-PP-MemTrib&fund=317069">here</a>. With a heavy heart, I update this page with the news of Toni’s passing on October 18th, 2021. Toni was an exceptionally strong and brave woman. She fought this battle to the end and kept her optimistic and comical personality in the process. For Toni Roberts, her world was forever changed when diagnosed with Metastatic (Stage 4) Pancreatic Cancer in March 2021. At 75 years old, this terrible disease had taken control of her pancreas and liver, but never her courage. Angry, driven and inspired, I wanted to be able to help my grandmother and many others affected by this cancer. Pancreatic cancer is aggressive and has around a 10% 5-year relative survival rate. For those with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, the 5-year survival rate lessens to just 1%. Typically, this disease does not show symptoms until it has advanced and spread, so up to 80% of cases are unfortunately diagnosed in late stages. Although I originally created this page to ask for donations in lieu of gifts for my birthday in May, I wanted to reactivate it and ask the same during these hard times. Every dollar will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Community Access and Treatment Research Fund. Through the OSUCCC - James, this fund supports "research related to early detection, surgery, treatment and survivorship of pancreatic cancer patients as well as community outreach and awareness." This fund is extremely beneficial for patients, families and increasing the survival rate of pancreatic cancer. With your support and generosity, we can help fund pancreatic cancer research and support those currently battling it. Toni was a phenomenal woman, and I have been blessed to have her as my grandmother. I proudly hold this fundraiser in her honor and in memory of her.

The Ohio State University iGEM team will be competing in the 2021 competition in Paris with a unique project that will give its members vital experiences in research and development. The Ohio State iGEM was founded by our PI, Dr. Brian Ahmer, a professor in the Department of Microbial Infection and Immunity in 2019, but the project is mainly student led, with the students choosing the project, designing and performing experiments, and organizing outreach. The team empowers students with leadership experiences and communication skills necessary for any professional career. Furthermore, it helps funnel talent into biotech, whereas those students may otherwise may not have considered the pathway. Since the iGEM team will tackle real-world problems with real-world implications, your contribution can also make a lasting impact on the greatest ecological, medical and societal challenges facing the world. Our first project year was in <a href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:OhioState">2019</a>, and our projects since have been incredibly successful, with the <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Team:OhioState">2020 project</a> earning a gold medal at the international conference. The projects concerned developing nitrogen-fixing bacteria for crops - a problem relevant to the Midwest - and biocontainment tools and policies - which is for the advancement of the field as a whole - and showcases the diversity in possible topics. Most importantly, meeting our funding goal will allow us to give students a unique experience, through the form of a stipend, from which they might otherwise be excluded due to their financial limitations, as well as to provide for travel to Paris. We cannot achieve these goals without the generosity of supporters like you. Thank you!

Scott began his fight against melanoma in 2014 and continued to fight each day until he took his last breath surrounded by all the love from his family on March 15, 2021. In the beginning, when he was first diagnosed in 2014, Scott put his faith and life in the hands of doctors and researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). Shortly after his diagnosis, Scott decided to take a leap of faith and enter a clinical trial that allowed him to fight this cancer head on. The clinical trial successfully helped Scott fight off the cancer and regain back control of his life. He enjoyed going on trips with his wife, riding his motorcycle, meeting with the car club in his plum crazy car and spending time with family when he wasn't working hard. The clinical trial allowed Scott to continue enjoying all the things he loved in his life until the cancer returned four years later in 2018. This diagnosis felt different than before but Scott wanted to fight this off again. He entered another clinical trial and although it was not successful, the doctors at the OSUCCC – James worked closely with Scott to create a treatment plan based on his medical needs and what he wanted. The doctors never gave up on him and his family is forever thankful for all of their dedication and knowledge on fighting this disease. After two years of treatment, Scott's cancer began to spread to other parts of his body in early 2021. The melanoma started to attack his liver and his life was never the same again. In late February, Scott found out the cancer had spread to his brain and our lives were changed forever. Although the cancer was spreading, the doctors continued to provide a safe and comfortable end of his disease. A few weeks later, Scott said goodbye to his family and friends on March 15th while at the OSUCCC – James. The doctors at the OSUCCC – James were by his side every step of the way and we will always be thankful for their dedication to help Scott through this disease. In Scott's memory, we are asking for donations toward the melanoma research at the OSUCCC – James. We hope these funds help others prevent and fight melanoma.

Student-Alumni Council is a passionate, diverse group of student leaders striving to advance The Ohio State University through programs that enhance the student experience, promote student-alumni interaction, establish a spirit of loyalty to the university, and cultivate meaningful relationships. We aim to connect Buckeyes past, present and future so that everyone can be a Buckeye for life. We held our first meeting in 1980 when 60 students gathered under a unifying focus to better The Ohio State University through student-alumni involvement. SAC has since grown to an organization of approximately 115 active and exemplary members, or "SACers," who work to advance the university. As you know, COVID-19 brought about changes in almost every area of our lives. SAC was unable to escape this inevitable change, we adapted to our surroundings and modified our exciting programs and events to be COVID-friendly. As a result, almost every program we ran this year utilized a virtual format while a few programs unfortunately were not able to be put on at all. Two of our main fundraising and donation programs are alumni tours and football ticket giveaways. These programs serve as SAC's main source of donations and allow us to have the necessary resources to bring our amazing programs and events to the OSU campus. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to offer in-person tours for the 2020-2021 academic year or support our FTG program. In lieu of in-person tours, we created a virtual tour video that offers alumni a closer look at the campus; you can find this video linked above. All donations that we receive will go directly towards planning and executing events that focus on enriching the student experience and connecting students with alumni.

The LiFEsports initiative has been using sport “to prepare youth for life and leadership” since 2009. More than 8,000 deserving young people in our community have directly participated in our summer camp and clinic programming. LiFEsports recognizes that youth sports are about much more than playing ball – it’s about giving young people skills they can use both on and off the field. That’s why LiFEsports uses athletics to teach youth valuable life skills. Our activities focus on four critical social skills that will help them grow and mature: Self-control, Effort, Teamwork and Social Responsibility, or S.E.T.S. Last year, due to COVID-19, LiFEsports had to alter how we served youth in our communities. Despite many challenges, we quickly pivoted to a virtual ‘Sport in a Bag’ Summer Camp, serving over 450 children. We also partnered with the Lindy Infante Foundation to distribute over 8,000 Sport in a Bag kits throughout Ohio. While we were able to offer camps virtually, last summer left us all longing for a return to working directly with these kids. There is nothing quite like camp in person: the camaraderie, the laughter and the lifelong memories. We all hoped for brighter summer days ahead! This summer HOPE (and camp) returns! This summer, LiFEsports is working to offer summer camp programming in not just 1 but 5 locations: Ohio State’s main campus, the Beatty Community Center, the Linden Community Center, the KIPP School and Inside Out in Springfield, Ohio. To do that, we need your help. It is clear that LiFEsports programming is even more crucial this summer given the challenges for youth and their families over the past year. We want to be ready to serve them. Will you join us in making 2021 the Summer of Hope? Your gift today will help LiFEsports continue to impact our community, one child at a time.

Geib women are known for many amazing things: they are leaders, they are fun loving, Buckeye super fans, they are rarely seen without lipstick or some form of sparkle, they are fighters, changemakers and so much more. Probably the least interesting thing about them is the cancer that both Sandie and Tori Geib have faced in their lifetime (along with other family members along the way). However, as with anything, Geib women are determined to be changemakers - and cancer messed with the wrong family. In March of 2016, Tori was diagnosed with Metastatic (Stage 4) Breast Cancer at the age of 30 that had spread to her bones, lungs, liver and would eventually also spread to her brain. Just over two years later in 2018, Sandie was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, that would eventually progress to Stage 3, the most advanced stage of her disease. Tori and Sandie always had a special bond as Aunt and Niece - with a strong will to fight and love for their family taught to them by Virginia Mae Geib, Sandie's Mother in Law and Tori's Grandmother during her own fight with cancer years earlier. Sandie and Tori's shared crucible with cancer set them both into action and advocacy. Tori began to advocate under the brand <a href="http://metastaticmillennial.org">Metastatic Millennial</a> with a goal to see her 35th birthday (5 years after her diagnosis) and beyond. When she was approached with the idea of starting a research fund at The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, it was crucial to her to make sure her Aunt Sandie was included - and her cancer along with Tori's got the necessary research dollars to push for advancements to keep Geib women sparkling for years to come. Tragically, on February 24, 2021 - Sandie passed away after a 3 year battle with the disease. There is one thing we know - Sandie, Tori, nor any other cancer patient fails their treatments - it is science that has failed them - more specifically the lack of life saving research being done on these most deadly forms of the disease. It is estimated that less than 7% of all Breast Cancer Research dollars go to fund curative metastatic research and even less yet to Advanced Multiple Myeloma Research. Advanced Multiple Myeloma has a median prognosis of 29 months and Metastatic Breast Cancer isn't far behind, with a median prognosis of 36 months. It is estimated in 2021, 56,540 Americans will die from these advanced and lethal forms of cancer (<a href="https://cancerstatisticscenter.cancer.org/#!/cancer-site/Breast">ACS, Statistics</a>). The only thing that will continue to save lives is new research that will extend the lives of those facing Advanced Multiple Myeloma and Metastatic Breast Cancer. Imagine a day when no tears will be shed with a cancer diagnosis, because all will be survivors, and no one will be at risk of dying of their disease. It is a dream we hold close - a dream that one day no more of the Geib's, or any other family, will endure a terminal cancer diagnosis. We KNOW this will only be possible through research; research that The Geib Family Fund for Advanced Cancer Research is dedicated to fund at 100% of every donation to our fund at the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute. We thank you for your consideration and donations to The Geib Family Fund for Advanced Cancer Research. With your help, we hope that one day, all of our families will be able to rest assured - knowing cancer will never have the chance to dim our sparkle.

Santino Carnevale has found himself within the cancer world the entirety of his life. In March 2006, just 10 days after Santino’s parents, Michael and Brooke Carnevale, discovered they were expecting a child, his father was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma—a rare head and neck cancer. In 2015, at only 9 years old, Santino made the decision to stand up and do something in the fight against cancer. At such a young age, he already possessed a desire to help others going through similar battles. Santino began by organizing a lemonade stand and bake sale. Santino intended to honor his father, as well as his grandfather, the late Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes, who passed away when Santino was 4 years old from pancreatic cancer.. The first year of the lemonade stand, Santino’s efforts raised an astounding $5,000 and he has never looked back. Santino formed his initiative known as “Santino’s Crusade for a Cancer-Free World”. In addition to the annual lemonade stand and bake sale, Santino hosts an Ohio State Tailgate party in downtown West Jefferson, OH. His family, friends and classmates have joined him in his efforts. Santino is widely known throughout The James as one of the youngest adolescents to establish a fund and is often referred to as “Santino, the Cancer Crusader!” Santino created the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund at The OSUCCC-James in his beloved father’s honor in 2015. Unfortunately, Michael succumbed to his long battle with cancer in the fall of 2016, but that hasn’t slowed Santino’s efforts in the least. Proceeds raised from Santino’s initiatives have exceeded over $130,000 for the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund! In addition, Santino was the recipient of the 2018 Jefferson Award, to recognize individuals who do extraordinary things in their community without expecting anything in return. To date, Santino is the youngest person in history to receive the prestigious Jefferson Award. Santino also serves as a member of the James Ambassadors Society at The OSUCCC-James and is the youngest member inducted into the Society. He is an invaluable member in the community and an inspiration to all at The James. Please donate and join his Crusade for a Cancer-Free World!!

Hi Buckeyes, this past year was off the charts crazy in every facet and it has really disappointed us that we haven't been able to see you and cheer on our Buckeyes with you during what was an amazing run to the title game against Bama! Unfortunately, one of the other repercussions of this past year and all the craziness was that it really impacted our scholarship fund which only hurts the future students. In a normal year where our beloved Buckeyes go to the National Championship, we probably would have raised over $20,000 for our scholarship fund thanks to how generous you all are! Even with the uncertainty of this season or any given game or player, inability to have game watch events, no club events and not being able to see most of you in person, we were able to raise $5,000 for our scholarship fund! That is truly incredible and really shows how amazing you all are! We know we are asking a lot, but we are creating this fundraising project to try to lessen the gap from our typical goal of $20,000 to where we ended up in 2020! It's all for the future students to ensure they have the support they need to attend the great university on this planet! Since 2010, we have given at least $10,000 in scholarships each year. We know getting to $20,000 may be a tough challenge so we would like to set our goal at an additional $5,000 by the end of February! That may sound like a tall task; however, we have over 250 members and so all that means is we need everyone of you to donate at least $20 each! I think we can do that and probably beat that like we always beat that TTUN! You can also send and share this link with your friends and family. All we need is 250 people to give $20 each, but we certainly appreciate any amount you can give! Let's make it happen and make sure COVID doesn't keep us from Paying It Forward! Your donation will help students like Hayley Bomwell (pictured in image below) who was one of our former scholarship winners, earn that THE Ohio State University Diploma!! Your donation will also help ensure that we can make students like Hannah Ross (pictured in image below) be able to throw up the O-H with her fellow classmates who are going to UF and FSU!

Buckeyes in Law: Moritz DC Summer Program 2021

Make a gift to help fund scholarships for students in the Moritz DC Summer Program 2021! Moritz College of Law May 3, 2021 Update: This inaugural Moritz DC Summer Program Buckeye Funder is now closed. Thanks to all of you who contributed and supported the campaign. While the Buckeye Funder is closed, you can donate any time during the year to <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=317150">the Law Washington, DC Summer Program Scholarship Fund</a> (Fund Number: 317150), and the donations to this fund all go to provide scholarship assistance for students enrolled in the law school's DC summer program. Your donation will also be counted toward next year's Buckeye Funder initiative. Thanks again! - Professor Chris Walker Since 2003, the Michael E. Moritz College of Law has offered an amazing opportunity for Ohio State law students to study and work in Washington, DC, each summer. The <a href="http://go.osu.edu/MoritzDC">Moritz DC Summer Program</a> annually places about twenty law students in summer internships in DC—usually in unpaid internships and most often at federal agencies, on the Hill, and at non-profits. As part of the summer program, <a href="https://moritzlaw.osu.edu/faculty/professor/christopher-j-walker/">Professor Christopher Walker</a> teaches a course entitled the Ethics of Washington Lawyering, the students write a final term paper based on a substantive legal topic related to their internship, and they meet with dozens of prominent lawyers in DC, including agency general counsels, White House lawyers, members of Congress, federal judges, and top-flight public interest litigators—to provide just a few examples. For more information on the Moritz DC Summer Program, check out the program website <a href="http://go.osu.edu/MoritzDC">here</a>. The Moritz DC Summer Program attracts some of our sharpest students, including many who are interested in careers in government and public service. Including this summer, 375 Ohio State law students will have participated in the program. These students make a substantial investment to participate in the program, including this year tuition and fees in the amount of $8,445.40 for Ohio residents and $10,718.00 for nonresidents in addition to living expenses. To make the Moritz DC Summer Program more accessible to our students and to help provide more financial flexibility for students in the program to pursue public-interest employment opportunities after graduation, we are launching this inaugural Buckeye Funder campaign to encourage alums, supporters, and friends of Ohio State to invest in our amazing students. Our goal is to raise $20,000 in scholarships through this initiative, which will be divided equally among the roughly twenty students enrolled in the 2022 Moritz DC Summer Program. Please donate to support our Buckeyes in Law in DC and spread the word to fellow Buckeye alums, friends, and supporters!

Ohio State Bass Fishing Club

Make a gift today to support the Ohio State Bass Fishing Club!

Make a gift today to support the Ohio State Bass Fishing Club! Ohio State Bass Fishing Club Our program was founded about 10 years ago and is slowly becoming one of the best programs in College Fishing, as well as the state of Ohio. Our success is due mostly to the wide support of friends, family, alumni and other Buckeye fishing supporters whom help raise the necessary budget to send our anglers all over the country in the three college fishing series (Bassmasters, MLF/FLW and Collegiate Bass Championship) to represent THE Ohio State University on national media such as ESPN, NBC Sports and CBS Sports. The money raised from this campaign will go directly to paying for:<ul><li>Necessary equipment like: Rods, reels, baits, tackle and foul-weather clothing </li><li>Travel costs to the 2 National Championship events this Year<ul><li>Fuel to and from the Tournaments</li><li>House Rental to accommodate team and boats</li></ul></li><li>Boat fuel for all Official Practice and Tournament Days</li><li>Emergency Money for boat repairs (if needed)</li><li>Beating Michigan</li></ul> The Ohio State University fishing team is a student club on campus. The club is designed to connect students who share a similar passion for the sport of fishing and allows anglers to enjoy recreational fishing around campus and Ohio as well as compete on the national level against schools from all across the country. The club does not receive ANY funding from The Ohio State University. Our team is 100% funded by our anglers themselves and the support and donations of our family, friends and the great Buckeye faithful. While our team is considered a club here on campus we still face many schools whose teams are sanctioned, fully-funded varsity sports. Tournaments consist of each school sending as many teams of two anglers (a boater and his/her partner the co-angler) who go out and try to catch a five fish limit of the heaviest black bass they can. The top 10% of the field from each tournament qualifies for nationals. Our teams look to represent Buckeye Nation on the largest of stages for collegiate fishing and appreciate your support and help so much. With the constantly changing opportunities due to COVID-19, any funds raised that are not able to be used in the current budget year will carry over to the next budget year. Any amount is appreciated and will not go to waste! Thank you, Tight Lines, and Go Bucks! O-H…

Ellen's Hope for a Cure

If you would like to provide any additional support, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGCHRI-CMP-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=315680">here</a>. Our mom, Ellen McKee, was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer on 10/28/19. Every year, over 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with this illness, and it holds one of the highest mortality rates of all cancer types. Mom fought a brave fight, defied odds and surpassed expectations in the hopes of a cure. Our mom walked through life gracefully, with kindness and love to light her way. She was a beautiful blend of selfless and stubborn, fiercely devoted to family and friends. An avid Ohio State Buckeye and Steelers’ fan, she never missed a game. She was a baker with a sweet tooth unmatched by many, except for maybe her grandchildren. She learned guitar later in life and loved The Beatles, playing songs alongside her children and grandchildren. Even in retirement, Ellen (Nana) continued to provide care for all of her grandbabies - nurturing them - through reading, arts and crafts, walks, adventures to the pool, the zoo or a local park, baking, singing and dancing. This past Sunday, January 17, Ellen passed away peacefully in her home with all four children by her side. Throughout her life, our mom gave to others through kindness, service, volunteerism and participating in research. For this reason, we are requesting for contributions to be made to Dr. Sameek Roychowdhury's oncology team and their continued pancreatic cancer research in lieu of gifts or flowers. We are so grateful for the gift of time that these individuals granted us over the past 15 months, and our hope is for a cure, so that others do not have to endure this type of heartbreaking loss. In 2020, we raised $5,672.32 towards Pancreatic Cancer Research. Our goal is to grow that amount to $10,000 through the life and legacy of Ellen McKee.

The greatest gift you can give someone is TIME! And when it comes to the time you have with a beloved dog, there is never enough. No matter when or how they leave you, you always wish for one more GOOD DAY! In Irish's memory, help give the gift of TIME! On October 30, 2017, my sweet Ellie girl was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma. It was caught too late and we had very limited time before our goodbye on November 10, 2017. She was a month shy of her 12th birthday, and the quality of those last days were not good as she could not eat which was her favorite thing to do! I was completely heartbroken. Yet, I couldn't barely process losing her because on the day of her at home euthanasia, it was discovered that her (non-litter mate) brother, Irish, had a mass in his mouth. He had surgery on November 13, 2017 and by November 17th, he was diagnosed with Mandibular Osteosarcoma. I was overwhelmed, my heart was shattered and I was desperate for TIME with him. I was not ready to say goodbye to him too. I just couldn't lose them both, and by the grace of God and expert veterinary care, I didn't. Thanks to my local vet and Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center, I had 959 bonus days with my sweet Irish Boy. That's 2 years, 7 months and 26 days!! When Irish was first diagnosed with Mandibular Osteosarcoma in November 2017, his prognosis with a partial jaw removal, radiation and chemotherapy was at best 8-12 months! This miracle gift of "TIME" was due to the amazing care Irish received at our local vet and at The Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center in Columbus where our local vet referred us to for follow up treatment. We happily made the two hour trips to Columbus from Northern Kentucky because we knew we were in the right place with the best medical staff to care for all of Irish's needs. And there were a LOT of needs as Irish liked to keep us on our toes!! Irish had several dental surgeries due to issues from his partial jaw removal which resulted in him being hand fed soft food and his inability to "chew" to clean his teeth. He also had heart issues that resulted in him getting a pace maker in April 2019. However, Irish always seemed to roll with the punches and find a way to rebound which lead to us lovingly calling him "The Fighting Irish". But, TIME is never infinite..... In the last six months of his life, Irish faced decreased muscle tone, an inability to stand or walk very long or very far, and lack of safety on the stairs. Ironically, this was by far our biggest challenge because a GOOD DAY for Irish meant a walk around the lake, a car ride with his head out the window, a little bit of play time with a toy (if he felt up to it) and free access to the backyard via the doggie door in the basement. So, with these changes, he couldn't walk the lake or play, had to lay down on car rides and I had to restrict his access to the doggie door for safety. Dr. Cook, Irish's wonderful Oncologist, recommended we try acupuncture with Dr. Markley to see if that helped. It was a long shot, but I was always game to try anything to make Irish's quality of life better. I wasn't sure how it would go, but Irish LOVED it and Dr. Markley! Every Wednesday, he seemed to know it was our day to go and would be impatient to leave for Ohio State. He would be so excited that I sometimes had to leave early just because he would not stop running to the garage door trying to get to the car. It seemed he had a bit of a crush on Dr. Markley. She had become his favorite person, and her treatments made him feel better which made both of us happier. When he would be taken to the treatment room, as soon as he was in the hallway to the therapy room, he would try to take off running. He never reacted that way to any veterinary he had in his life, and the acupuncture treatments helped greatly. Immediately, Irish was able to do short walks, increased his play and was able to put his head out the window for short spurts on our daily car rides. Stair access was still supervised but easier and safer for both of us. Even in the midst of COVID-19, Dr. Markley and Kelly continued to ensure Irish got the treatments he needed. When his health took a turn for the worse due to other issues in late June of 2020 and he was admitted to the ICU at Ohio State, it was Dr. Markley who went to the ICU daily to give him treatments to relieve his pain, provide him comfort and give us the reassurance we had done all we could do for him. I said goodbye to Irish under the care of all the same wonderful staff at Ohio State. I am forever grateful for the wonderful and priceless gift of TIME that they gave me with Irish. He died on June 26, 2020 at the age of 14 1/2 years old. That's a good age for a Labrador....and an amazing age for a Labrador with cancer whose heart was 100% reliant on a pacemaker!! I'm grateful that until the last week of his life, the days were GOOD, QUALITY bonus days. Yet no time with a good dog is ever enough. We are never ready to let them go and always wish for more TIME...for one more GOOD DAY. In the past, before losing Irish and Ellie to cancer, when friends and family always ask what I want for Christmas or my birthday, I could always come up with some "thing" I wanted. But now that they are both gone, the only thing I wish for is more "TIME" with them. So I'm asking instead of getting some "thing" for me to show you love and care for me, please consider giving a donation to Ohio State to help give someone like me (who loved her dogs like human children) more quality "time" with the dog they love. Help me bless someone else the way that I was blessed and able to give Irish the expert care that Ohio Veterinary Medical Center provided to us. Help Irish's fighting spirit live on!! Because of his love for Dr. Markley, I have chosen her fund as my designation. She has a wish list of items that would help her provide better care to her patients. It's an ambitious goal for the year 2021, but I would like to target raising between $2,000.00 -$5,000.00 over the next year (perhaps two) for her department to help towards the purchase of either of the two Top Priority items below: Companion Animal Health Cold Compression Therapy Kit (3 needed) (Top Priority): This device combines cold therapy and compression to accelerate recovery from injury or surgery. This technology is frequently used in human sports medicine and rehabilitation. Ultrasound Machine (Top Priority): Ultrasound uses sound waves to heat tissues, increase tissue blood flow and tissue relaxation, break down scar tissue and improve healing. I appreciate any donation you can make towards this gift in memory of my beloved Choco Kids - Irish and Ellie. They were my two true loves and the time I had with them were the best years of my life. Thank you, Karen

Thank you for supporting our 6th annual crowdfunding campaign! The John Glenn College of Public Affairs has offered an exciting opportunity for Ohio State students to study and work in the nation's capital for 21 years! The Washington Academic Internship Program (WAIP) selects outstanding undergraduates from any major to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. as John Glenn Fellows. Like most aspects of our life, WAIP was completely turned upside down last March when the pandemic hit. Our spring cohort was sent home with little notice, and the program went on hiatus for summer 2020. Recognizing the need to offer students a quality internship and professional development opportunity, especially given the lack of opportunities at this time, we swiftly moved the program to a virtual format for autumn 2020. How were we able to support 11 Glenn Fellows in the first-ever virtual program? Alumni like you. We diverted the funds raised from last year’s campaign and offered every student in the fall cohort a $1,500 scholarship to make their participation possible. Because of you, students were able to take unpaid internships, set-up home offices or secure a professional wardrobe. Our spring students also received this $1,500 scholarship, continuing to make the program accessible through a global pandemic. While much uncertainty lies ahead, one thing is clear: the need for scholarships is greater than ever. The pandemic has been challenging for us all. For Glenn Fellows, the challenges include less availability of jobs, parent job losses and fewer internship opportunities. Students still need your support. For the past 6 years, supporters of WAIP have come together every February to make the program more accessible for Ohio State students. Thanks to your support, we have raised over $120,000, sending 20 students to Washington for a life changing experience without the burden of housing, and allowing the fall cohort in a pandemic to experience the program and gain critical professional experience at a time when few opportunities exist. We at WAIP remain committed to offering the program. We believe our mission to train the next generation of public servants is greater than ever. We hope to bring the program back to the in-person format soon, but until then, we will still be welcoming students to DC, even if only through a screen. Students still need your support- whether for housing scholarships when the program comes back in-person, or to be able to take a full-time, unpaid internship in the virtual format. While in WAIP, John Glenn Fellows remain fully registered Ohio State students. Students earn academic credit hours for their internship, the research seminar in which a policy paper is developed and a course on policymaking and public service in the Washington community. Students will deepen their understanding of policy issues through weekly policy salons with experts. Friday study tours each week will also allow students to explore and experience different aspects of Washington. Participants in the program meet policy professionals and interact with Ohio State alumni in the region. This interaction has value far beyond the semester in which the students are involved in the program. Real opportunities are presented for career advice, professional development and cross-generational exchange. Many participants return to Washington after graduation and credit their early success in landing their first job out of college to WAIP. WAIP plays a critical role in the professional development of Buckeyes interested in public service - help us ensure that every deserving student has the chance to participate.

Help us celebrate what should have been Kevin Kowalcyk’s 22nd birthday by supporting CFI’s efforts to prevent foodborne disease! Barbara Kowalcyk Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=483541">here</a>. On December 10th, Kevin Kowalcyk should be celebrating his 22nd birthday but he isn't. In 2001, at age 2 1/2, Kevin became one of the estimated 3,000 people to die each year in the United States from foodborne illness. Fueled by his passing, his mother, Barbara Kowalcyk and grandmother, Patricia Buck devoted their careers to preventing others from getting sick or dying from contaminated food and promoting stronger food safety policies and practices that protect public health. Nineteen years later, they are still fighting to prevent illnesses like Kevin's. The Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention (CFI) was founded as a non-profit organization by Kowalcyk and Buck in 2006 to facilitate, encourage and promote research on food safety; translate and communicate science and its implications for food safety to stakeholders; and work on behalf of consumers to implement a stronger, more science-based food system that prevents foodborne diseases. Over the years, CFI has earned a reputation as a leader in improving food safety policies and practices through science-based approaches. Among its many contributions, CFI collaborated with other groups to develop, pass and implement the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (FSMA), which was the first major overhaul of food safety oversight at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in more than 70 years. The center also joined multiple efforts to strengthen government resources for national and state food safety programs, and it led an effort to require mandatory labeling of mechanically tenderized beef products, which have been associated with foodborne illnesses. In 2017, Kowalcyk joined the faculty at Ohio State and brought CFI to the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Foodborne illness is a serious public health issue that causes an estimated 600 million illnesses and 420,000 deaths - mostly in children - globally each year. CFI’s mission is to advance a more scientific, risk-based food safety system that prevents these illnesses and protects public health by translating science into policy and practice. For example, CFI faculty, staff and students are currently working to develop a risk-based approach to food safety (<a href="https://foodsafety.osu.edu/research/chakula-salama">Chakula Salama</a>) that reduces the risk foodborne disease, increases production of safe food and improves economic outcomes in Kenya. A team of researchers from The Ohio State University, University of Florida, Kenya Medical Research Institute and University of Nairobi are collaborating to improve the safety of poultry produced by small-scale women and youth farmers in peri-urban areas of Kenya. Closer to home, CFI is partnering with a local health department to study how certified kitchen managers may impact compliance with food safety standards in retail food establishments such as restaurants, grocery stores and food trucks. To learn more about CFI's work, please visit <a href="https://foodsafety.osu.edu/">foodsafety.osu.edu</a>. The goal of this campaign is to celebrate Kevin Kowalcyk's 22nd birthday by supporting CFI's efforts to prevent foodborne disease. Funds will be used to support student experiential learning opportunities, on-campus events, research supplies, statistical software subscriptions, travel to domestic and international food safety meetings and much more. For example, CFI recently published a <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.544154/full">paper on the long-term health outcomes associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome</a>. This project was not grant funded but was made possible through various donations to CFI. Reaching our goal of $5,000 would support similar work, such as an ongoing project to evaluate the food safety knowledge, attitudes and practices of workers in food banks. Every little bit helps so please consider giving today. Happy Birthday, Kevin!

If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-OTH-S-PP-ClosedPage&fund=316785">here</a>. As Buckeyes, we support one another. That is the definition of family - being there for the following generations of Ohio State students, especially when they are in need. None exemplify this idea more than the Stitzlein family; a Buckeye family through and through. Pictured above are: John Leonard, George, John Hieronymus, Maria (Mary), and Adam - five of the children of George and Maria Stitzlein, the original Stitzlein’s who came from Germany in 1846. Members of our family have attended the university from as far back as Ohio State’s formative years. We have seen over 70 Stitzlein family members receive an education at Ohio State, and as our family found their roots in agriculture when they came to this country, so did more than half of these Buckeye graduates who found their roots in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. Whether in agriculture or other important fields, Stitzlein descendants have made lasting contributions to their respective industries. To celebrate our heritage, we have established the Stitzlein Family Scholarship and have already raised 75% of the necessary funds to see this scholarship come to fruition in perpetuity. Additionally, a generous member of the family and graduate of the Ohio State College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), has offered to match new donations to the fund dollar for dollar up to $25,000! Please join us in paying forward to become a part of this legacy - the Buckeye Legacy.

The Dr. Tina Pierce Social Justice Scholarship Fund, in its inaugural year, will provide scholarships to Columbus City School graduates who have demonstrated a commitment to community engagement, social justice or political activism. Applicants must be majoring in Political Science, African American and African Studies, Sociology, Public Affairs, Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies, Criminology, Criminal Justice or other social justice oriented majors. A graduate of Columbus City Schools, an Ohio State Alumna and current Columbus City School Board & Ohio School Board Association member, Dr. Tina Pierce, has dedicated herself to teaching, mentoring and developing youth and facilitating civic engagement throughout her Columbus community. She passionately invests in the development of young people, empowering them to find and use their voices to influence change. She has generously contributed her entire Columbus City School Board stipend to launch this scholarship. Many young activists are motivated to organize and influence change within their schools and communities, but lack the resources, tools and guidance necessary to bridge the gap between ideas and action. The intent of this scholarship is not only to provide financial assistance to worthy candidates, but also to pair that with mentorship and community engagement training. Students selected for this scholarship will be expected to volunteer, connect and engage with current Columbus City School students throughout the school year. Scholarship recipients may then apply for renewal if they have met the service component requirement. This scholarship purposefully aspires to create a long-term, sustainable connection between current & past Columbus City School youth leaders. Your financial support will amplify the magnitude of this scholarship, creating a ripple effect within our community. When we invest in the education, development and training of our future leaders, we benefit as a community--locally, nationally and globally.

We want Race Across America to be more than just a race. Make a gift to the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research today! [[Amount Raised]] raised toward $25,000 goal Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGCHRI-CMP-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=313899">here</a>. I've biked since I was a kid. Even after going head first over my handlebars when my front wheel came off, I've been hooked. Now, I ride for my love of cycling and to help with my struggle against depression and anxiety. Life is full of adversity and cycling has been my cure...now I hope to use it to help in the fight against breast cancer. This summer I was asked to join a 4-person team to participate in the Race Across America (RAAM), a race that spans over 3,000 miles across 12 states and climbs 170,000+ feet. Teams have 9 days to complete the race that begins in Oceanside, California and ends in Annapolis, Maryland. It is one of the most respected and longest running ultra-endurance events in the world. To put it in perspective, the 2020 edition of the Tour de France covered 2,156 miles and 156,398 feet of climbing in 23 days. The race begins on June 19, 2021. You can learn more about the race at <a href="http://raceacrossamerica.org/">http://raceacrossamerica.org/</a> and can follow our progress during the race via live-tracking on the website. Our team- Team enso Cycling- is comprised of myself, spouse to a breast cancer survivor and son and nephew to two amazing women who lost their battles with breast cancer, two Air Force veterans, and a thyroid cancer survivor. We want RAAM to be more than a race- we are using it as a platform to raise funds to help people facing challenges greater than most of us may ever face. We are each riding to support charities with special meaning to us. For myself, I am riding to support the Stefanie Spielman Breast Cancer Fund. Stefanie was a classmate of mine since the 1st grade. She never self sorry for herself or asked "why me". Instead she found purpose, as detailed in the book "That's Why I'm Here". We don't have a choice with what challenges we are faced with, but we certainly can choose our response. Her response was to support those affected by placing an emphasis on prevention through mammograms and celebrating those who are caregivers through "Stefanie's Champions". We chose the team name Enso... the enso circle representing enlightenment, strength, the universe. Adversity affects us all...it's our response that defines us. Our hope is that as a team, we will have the strength to respond to these challenges and RAAM is sure to provide us with many. Help us support the Stefanie Spielman Breast Cancer Fund by making a donation. The process is fast, easy, and secure, and for every donation made, I'll match that donation until my goal is reached. We truly appreciate any support you can provide, and it benefits a great cause! If you can't make a donation at this point, help us reach our goal by sharing this page on Facebook and Twitter! Or, even better, send an e-mail to friends you think might be interested in contributing and include a link to my page! Thanks so much for your generosity!

Grounded in Galvin for more than 50 years At Ohio State Lima, we believe in the power of people and their potential. For more than 50 years, students have come to our campus to go further and accomplish more. Each of those students – who are now improving the lives of others in their communities – got their start in Galvin Hall. Today, a group of current students has a vision to transform Galvin Hall’s lower level into a modern learning and collaborative environment while honoring its history and celebrating its role as the heart of campus. The Basement Club brings renewed life to an old space A group of passionate Ohio State Lima students formed the Basement Club in 2019 with the goal of drawing their fellow students into a place the group already knew and loved. They wanted it to trumpet its Ohio State origins and give students a place to meet, play and study. What started as a simple painting project garnered the attention of administrators and donors who believed in their vision and moved plans forward for an even larger project to revitalize Galvin Hall’s lower level through enhanced multi-use student-centered spaces. While this project has gained momentum in a time when uncertainty is the standard, one thing is certain: improving a space that aids in a student’s well-being will always improve their experiences and outcomes. Moving forward, Together as Buckeyes, to succeed in and out of the classroom Now more than ever, our students recognize the need to be together, even as they’re apart. Our faculty report that among other challenges brought forward in 2020, our students are struggling to find "their" space on campus. Group work has been especially challenging and they are yearning for a place that they feel is theirs and one that can help them to succeed both in the classroom and beyond. This transformed space will provide the flexibility to address student needs now and in the future. Become a champion for students Student life on the Lima Campus was first transformed with the opening of the Perry Webb Student Life Building in 2018. The activities and ideas generated by this new space changed the behaviors and aspirations of our students. They are craving more of these unique Ohio State spaces on their campus. You can become a champion for these students who understand the value of human interaction during a time when it is limited. Who see the potential in what could be overlooked by others. And who want to use their voices to create lasting change in a space that has given them more than they could imagine. Please consider investing in their extraordinary potential in ways we haven’t yet imagined. Everyone who gives to this particular effort will receive space on our Investor Wall in the Galvin Hall basement.

If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://giveto.osu.edu/makeagift?fund=313815&Source_Code=AGCHRI-CMP-S-ON-BFiGive">make a gift</a> here. Santino Carnevale has found himself within the cancer world the entirety of his life. In March 2006, just 10 days after Santino’s parents, Michael and Brooke Carnevale, discovered they were expecting a child, his father was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma—a rare head and neck cancer. In 2015, at only 9 years old, Santino made the decision to stand up and do something in the fight against cancer. At such a young age, he already possessed a desire to help others going through similar battles. Santino began by organizing a lemonade stand and bake sale. Santino intended to honor his father, as well as his grandfather, the late Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes, who passed away when Santino was 4 years old from pancreatic cancer.. The first year of the lemonade stand, Santino’s efforts raised an astounding $5,000 and he has never looked back. Santino formed his initiative known as “Santino’s Crusade for a Cancer-Free World”. In addition to the annual lemonade stand and bake sale, Santino hosts an Ohio State Tailgate party in downtown West Jefferson, OH. His family, friends and classmates have joined him in his fundraising efforts. Santino is widely known throughout The James as one of the youngest adolescence to establish a fund and is often referred to as “Santino, the Cancer Crusader!” Santino created the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund at The OSUCCC-James in his beloved father’s honor in 2015. Unfortunately, Michael succumbed to his long battle with cancer in the fall of 2016, but that hasn’t slowed Santino’s efforts in the least. Proceeds raised from Santino’s initiatives have exceeded over $170,000 for the Head and Neck Cancer Strategic Support Fund! In addition, Santino was the recipient of the 2018 Jefferson Award, to recognize individuals who do extraordinary things in their community without expecting anything in return. To date, Santino is the youngest person in history to receive the prestigious Jefferson Award. Santino also serves as a member of the James Ambassadors Society at The OSUCCC-James and is the youngest member inducted into the Society. He is an invaluable member in the community and an inspiration to all at The James. Please donate and join his Crusade for a Cancer-Free World!!

The Ohio State University Libraries' <a href="https://library.osu.edu/rbml">Rare Books & Manuscripts Library</a> needs your help to fulfill its mission to put its materials – as rare and valuable as they are – right into people's hands. The library's collection encompasses more than 250,000 books, manuscripts, publications and other materials — from medieval manuscripts to examples of renaissance drama, American literary archives, historical architecture books, photographs, materials from WWI and WWII and much more. Every part of the collection, says curator Eric Johnson, is used by students and faculty. "Our inclusive, hands-on approach helps foster an appreciation for the information these materials hold, spanning time periods and cultures, and the importance of a work's material form as a valuable artifact," Johnson says. "We're unique because we want the rare books and manuscripts to be actively used. I constantly fight the esoteric idea that these things are 'too good' or 'too valuable' to actually be used. It's important that they are." The collections are used to advance research, facilitate discovery and encourage exploration, and are open to scholars, students and lifelong learners. They are the foundation of the "Medieval Manuscript Studies" course and are used in classes across Ohio State. Fulfilling the promise of Ohio State's land grant mission, works from the collection have been used to teach classes from nearly a dozen external colleges and universities. Most importantly, the materials provide students like <a href="https://www.osu.edu/features/2020/valuable-research-with-invaluable-resources.html">Rose McCandless hands-on research opportunities.</a> Your donation supports the continued growth of these collections ensuring our students continue to experience the kind of educational experiences that set Ohio State apart from other universities.

Though the technologies and techniques available to our students evolve with the times, especially in this multimedia and digital-minded age, the laboratory that is The Lantern newsroom continues as a collaborative, investigative and creative space for student reporters. Today’s student journalists experience the same challenges and triumphs of storytelling as their predecessors. The Lantern needs your help to face a new and growing challenge. The Lantern is entirely supported by the money it makes from its advertising. Just like many professional newspapers, our student newspaper’s financial future is threatened by decreasing print advertising revenues. That is why we are building an endowment, a fund that will provide a reliable source of income year after year. Your donation will help build this endowment, which will help us pay for the following expenses: <ul> <li>Equipment such as cameras, laptops, newsroom computers and software.</li> <li>Printing and distribution of the newspaper.</li> <li>Travel costs to cover away, bowl, championship and tournament games.</li> <li>Monthly stipends for The Lantern editing staff.</li> </ul> We are proud to join forces with the Michigan Daily, the student newspaper for that school up north, to report on The Game in a manner that’s unprecedented in our 138-year history. In the spirit of that rivalry, we also don’t want to lose to our journalistic colleagues in this fundraising challenge. Thanks for your support!

The Bug Zoo is a diverse collection of live Arthropods for the purposes of education and outreach with the mission to promote awareness, dispel myths and ignite curiosity in the unseen world of Arthropods. <a href="https://u.osu.edu/bugzoo/">Entomology's Bug Zoo</a> is currently located on the Ohio State CFAES Wooster Campus, in a space that doubles as the department's conference room, in a building constructed in the 1920s! With your help our "BugZooWoo" dreams will be realized by creating an expanded and more dynamic Bug Zoo within a dedicated space in the New Science building at the center of CFAES Wooster campus in late Autumn 2020. Check out our <a href="https://facilities.cfaes.ohio-state.edu/livefeed">live construction feed</a> here! Although the Department of Entomology is providing basic funding for the renovation, gifts to our Buckeye Funder will secure long-term enhancements which better facilitate an interactive experience through staff, displays and outreach. Further, the permanent displays will be of a higher quality, and thus no need to replace in the near future. "BugZooWoo" has more than 45 unique Insect and Arachnid Arthropod species, including some of the most impressive: Australian walking sticks, Hercules beetles, giant millipedes, bird-eating tarantulas and 9 species of exotic cockroaches! Program Coordinator, Jeni Filbrun, maintains this collection under the direction of Entomology Chair: Dr. Jamie Strange, Associate Chair: Dr. Andy Michel and Program Director: Denise Ellsworth. An unfortunate reality is that many people fear bugs, creating the inability to appreciate and understand the significant contributions Arthropods have on the health of our planet. The BugZooWoo's collection of live animals are accessible and presented in a non-threatening way, allowing people of all ages to explore even the smallest wonders of nature in a safe environment, and enticing budding young entomologists into the exciting field of Entomology.

Thanks to a generous match, your gift to support College of Arts and Sciences students in need will be doubled through the month of September. Sudden medical challenges. Loss of on-campus jobs. Extra credit hours needed to complete a degree. A global pandemic. Unexpected need and financial emergency have the potential to interrupt life for more than 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences. The Students First, Students Now fund provides scholarships and emergency assistance to Buckeyes in the College of Arts and Sciences who need immediate financial help. Through a simple application process, students can request support for housing, utilities, food, course materials, technology, health care, childcare and more. While unexpected challenges can affect students at any time, the need for assistance is elevated during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Keith Monda (BS, economics, 1968; MA, economics, 1971) has supported the Students First, Students Now fund since it was established in 2010. "We all like to have well laid out plans and create an environment where we can be successful. Sometimes things don't go the way we planned and emergencies arise,” Keith says. “This program addresses those issues. Students who through no fault of their own are in a situation where if something isn't done, they won't be able to continue to matriculate, and that's a problem. I really like this program because of its pinpointed accuracy in addressing these kinds of issues.” Monda has generously offered to match all gifts up to $25,000 to support this critical need. We are grateful for Keith's ongoing support for The Ohio State University and students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. Donate today and double your impact.

This project has officially ended. The following organizations participated in a competition to raise as much money as possible to host philanthropic programs on campus and in our Columbus community. Thank you to everyone who gave to support our students! We cannot wait to share the impact that these projects will have on our Ohio State community. 1st Place - Panhellenic Association Children’s literature is an accessible and powerful tool that can teach inclusivity and empower marginalized voices. The effective depiction of marginalized groups in children’s literature holds immense power to promote positive attitudes and encourage productive dialogues in schools. Ohio State’s Panhellenic Association is committed to providing students in Columbus City Public Schools with literature that portrays marginalized groups in ways that enable the reader to develop understanding and acceptance of their peers. 2nd Place - African Youth League Ensuring the health and safety of our Ohio State community is more important than ever, and the African Youth League at Ohio State recognizes the importance of community, exercise and creativity as major contributors to wellness. The organization will create a day-long experience for all students that combines dimensions of social, physical and emotional wellness. We are learning every day that with proper planning and safety procedures, we can continue to stay safe and healthy, Together As Buckeyes. 3rd Place - Buckeyes for Harm Reduction The opioid crisis has been devastating to Ohio and Franklin County, and it is critical that community members and aspiring healthcare professionals are aware of the crisis before they start their careers. Buckeyes for Harm Reduction aims to confront the opioid epidemic by providing resources that are known to prevent overdose deaths and by expanding awareness about the effects of the epidemic in our community through “Harm Reduction Week.” The organization will use funds raised to distribute harm reduction supplies such as naloxone and fentanyl test strips in our campus community. 4th Place - Engineers without Borders at The Ohio State University Plastic bags are one of the most difficult plastics to recycle, and most recycling facilities will not accept them. Engineers without Borders at Ohio State is partnering with Buckeye Precious Plastics to keep plastic bags out of landfills by upcycling them into reusable bulk bags. Together we can reduce plastic waste in our community.

The Young Scholars Program (YSP) was founded in 1988 as an initiative to increase diversity at The Ohio State University. Housed within the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), YSP’s mission is to improve pre-college preparation, retention and degree completion among academically talented, low-income, first-generation students. YSP recruits pre-college students from nine of the largest urban school districts in Ohio: Akron Public Schools, Canton City Schools, Cincinnati Public Schools, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Columbus City Schools, Dayton Public Schools, Lorain City Schools, Toledo Public Schools and Youngstown City Schools. Each year, YSP serves 1,000 students state-wide, including over 700 in grades 8-12 and 350 undergraduate students. The Young Scholars Program is seeking funds to provide technology to student participants across the nine YSP school districts. Having accessible technology for students enables students to continue involvement in the program, access to academic requirements and addresses the technological needs for students in districts with minimal access. COVID-19 exposed the disparate access to technology among YSP students. This exposure affirmed our need to have program-provided devices for Young Scholars so learning and program engagement is not interrupted. The YSP is seeking funding to convert its Samuel DuBois-Cook Summer Academy from a summer brick and mortar program to an online program. The funding needed is for the purchase of 150 laptop computers, as well as 150 Wi-Fi hot spot plans to ensure students have the necessary equipment for the online Summer Academy. If you are interested in supporting YSP, please consider contributing to our Buckeye Funder campaign which provides direct support to the Young Scholars Summer Academy.

The Turfgrass Management program at Ohio State ATI has graduated 939 students since its inception in 1973 and our primary goal is to continue attracting high-quality, talented individuals to meet the growing labor demands of the turfgrass industry. Fortunately, our program has observed a steady increase in enrollment during the past four years as we currently have 41 actively enrolled turfgrass management students; however, the amount of available scholarship dollars has not experienced the same amount of growth, but we are hoping to change that! The mission at Ohio State ATI is to “learn by doing” and this hands-on educational philosophy is only possible because of the unique facilities on the Ohio State CFAES Wooster Campus and continued support from our stakeholders. Many of the students enrolling in our program aspire to become golf course superintendents, sports turf managers, equipment technicians, sod producers and business owners. Our program has a tradition of producing hardworking, quality individuals and many of our graduates have reached some of the most prestigious positions within our profession. The Ohio State ATI Turfgrass Golf Outing is the only fundraising mechanism for generating scholarship dollars for our students. In the past, we have generated between $8,000 to $10,000 for scholarships, which are readily dispersed to deserving incoming and currently enrolled students. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances we are unable to host the golf outing in 2020, but we fully intend to bring it back in 2021. The importance of scholarships for recruiting and retaining talented students cannot be overstated. While we will not be able to duplicate the fun of the golf outing, we still can raise the much-needed scholarship dollars. With your help, we can reach our goal of $10,000 to help support the next generation of turfgrass professionals! O-H!

Buckeye Ice: Preserve the Keys to our Climate Future

We Need Your Help Now Preserve Our Past and Protect Our Future Backstory For almost 40 years, Byrd Center scientists at Ohio State have been racing against a warming climate to collect and preserve ice cores from tropical glaciers before they melt and are lost forever. Byrd’s tropical ice core collection is the largest in the world and recognized by the scientific community as a unique archive of our planet’s climate history. The oldest ice in the Byrd collection is estimated to be ~600,000 years old. Your Help is Urgently Needed The Byrd Center Ice Core Facility that houses 4.5 miles of ice, is over 30 years old, has exceeded its storage capacity and reached the end of its useful life. If the facility is not replaced immediately, we are at risk of losing the current core collection and already lack the space to add cores from future drilling projects. A multi-million dollar renovation project is underway and this campaign is one component of a broader strategy to maintain the facility and raise awareness of this critical need. Ice Core Preservation is Critical for a Sustainable Climate “Many of the questions that we haven’t even asked can only be answered by having an archive of Earth’s history available to the next generation” – Dr. Lonnie Thompson Ice cores contain frozen records of past temperature, and contain samples of ancient air, dust, pollen, and even viruses and bacteria. These records allow us to predict our climate future by better understanding historical conditions that resulted from varying CO₂ concentrations and temperatures. It is critical to preserve this unique collection of ice cores for the study of climate impacts and for future generations of scientists who will continue to make discoveries and recommend solutions that will make a positive difference for the future of Earth and humankind. Every Donation Truly Makes a Difference This fundraising effort is part of a multi million dollar campaign to renovate and expand the current ice core storage facility and cold workrooms at the Byrd Center. Every dollar is needed and goes directly toward maintaining the current facility. Buckeye Funder is one component of a broader strategy to maintain the facility and raise awareness of this critical need. The <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/21513">Buckeye Ice Campaign</a> remains open for donations, so please continue to help us spread the word.

One of the most impactful components of the Fisher Futures Investment Banking program is the trips we take to New York and Chicago. Every year, students mention the trips when asked what was most valuable to them as members of the Fisher Futures program. And our alumni are key to the success - assisting with setting up meetings at their firms and bringing other professionals into the presentations. This creates great networking opportunities for the students. Although we will not be hosting trips this year, students find that they may need to make multiple trips to their desired city for networking purposes and this can become financially challenging. In an effort to provide greater access, we are hoping to provide financial support for students making networking trips. Additionally, we want to continue to provide Wall Street Prep certification and other program initiatives. With Ohio State facing significant budget cuts due to COVID-19, these goals are more challenging to achieve; therefore, we are reaching out to our alumni and friends of the program. A $614 donation will essentially support access to Wall Street Prep for about 10 students, and a $334 donation will support access to Wall Street Prep for about 5 students. Anything we raise above this will support networking trips for students, will ensure we can continue to hire program coordinators and allow us to grow the program with additional initiatives. The Fisher Futures program is one of our most meaningful and successful programs. The alumni support has been critical to the success of this program - we literally could not do it without you! I'm hoping we can once again count on your support, and that you will feel a donation to our Buckeye Funder campaign will give you a sense of connection back to Ohio State and Fisher! Cheers!

Over the last few months, NextGen James Ambassadors* and the Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival committee have worked hard to understand the impact of the health risks posed by COVID-19. In coordination with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James), we have sadly decided not to hold the Mac & Cheese Festival in person this year, which was scheduled for Oct. 2 at Easton Town Center. The Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival, benefiting the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer program at the OSUCCC – James, would have been turning 5 this year. The James, with support from Teen Cancer America, is partnering with Nationwide Children’s Hospital to create a joint adolescent and young adult oncology program. This collaboration will ensure every person in Ohio between the ages of 15-39 diagnosed with cancer has the most up to date treatment for their disease, the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research for their diagnosis, and have access to comprehensive AYA-specific support programs and services. In the past four years we have raised over $260,000 to help make a difference in the lives of adolescents and young adults who are battling cancer. The need for cancer research still exists, and we invite you to continue your support of the Columbus Mac and Cheese Festival if you are able. Your support of events like the Mac & Cheese Festival truly make an impact. Investing in the cancer experts at the OSUCCC – James fuels groundbreaking discoveries that will lead to our ultimate goal of a cancer-free world. Please join the NextGen James Ambassadors by making a gift.

If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGCHRI-CMP-S-ON-BFiGive&fund=314006">here</a>. Although COVID-19 remains a major health risk to our community, the mission of Steps for Sarcoma remains the same: to bring patient, family and community sarcoma awareness and education by raising orthopaedic sarcoma pilot research funds to promote improved patient outcomes and quality of life. Even though we are unable to be together in person this year, you can help us build on the success of last year’s 10th Anniversary event by showing your support today! Why Your Support Matters Because sarcoma is a rare disease, federal funding for sarcoma research is very difficult to obtain. One of the main reasons we began Steps for Sarcoma is to provide small grants of $15,000 to $30,000 to help young researchers produce preliminary or pilot data that support their research ideas and strengthen their chances of obtaining larger grants from the National Cancer Institute and other external sources. We have used money raised by Steps for Sarcoma to help young researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James), the Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine and Nationwide Children's Hospital Research Institute produce pilot data studies and, in addition, we have funded multiple undergraduate and graduate summer research stipends at $5,000 per student for each summer. These grants help get students interested in sarcoma-research careers and assist Ohio State faculty researchers with ongoing projects. Your support for Steps for Sarcoma has helped us develop our nationally recognized sarcoma research program to levels not previously possible. Thank you for your generous past support, and please join us again this year so we can provide even more funding for studies that will help us someday end the challenges faced by those who are affected by sarcoma. Because of you, this event continues to grow every year in supporters and fundraising for sarcoma research. In 2018, we celebrated our amazing fundraising reaching $1 MILLION for the Steps for Sarcoma Research Fund at the OSUCCC – James. We are proud to say that 100% of your donation goes to fund only sarcoma research. Our goals do not stop with this great milestone - we need to look forward and continue our important research being done to one day find a cure for sarcoma. Together we are making a difference and we could not do this without you! We will be back in 2021 with another great event and look forward to being together with you at that time when it is safe to do so. Thank you for your continued support!

Please write in the special instructions textbox which camp you would like to support. If you would like to support Ohio 4-H camps but do not have a strong preference of which camp to support, you can contribute to the greatest needs for 4-H camps. Money raised here will be distributed between the nine camps participating in the 4-H Camp Needs You Now campaign for their greatest needs. Now more than ever, Ohio 4-H camps welcome your support. As a result of COVID-19, the very difficult decision was made to suspend 4-H camps this summer. The health of our campers, staff, and volunteers are our highest priority. However, this decision has impacted our camps financially and will make it difficult to maintain or retain our camps. Take a moment and recall one of your most favorite memories of 4-H. For many of us, those memories are vivid with the sounds and smells (good and BAD!) of 4-H camp. From camp songs, to “warm fuzzies”, counselor skits, and vespers, those summer days and nights helped us to grow and become who we are today. We want to be sure those opportunities are there for kids next year and many years to come. We all have acknowledged our own sadness as a result of camps being canceled this summer, but our 4-H members have proven to be resilient and encouraging considering this decision. Protecting our 4-H family of youth, volunteers, and staff is our number one priority and we know that this was the right decision to keep everyone safe during these challenging times. As a result of these camp closures, the loss of income is hitting these camps hard. To keep camp fees down, most camps run on a very strict and tight budget with little room to withstand substantial losses such as they are experiencing this year. Across the state, Ohio 4-H camps will lose roughly $1.1 million dollars in revenue. Please stand with us in support of Ohio 4-H camps. We are anxious to welcome everyone back next year but know that the ability to continue operations is hanging in the balance. Please give today and invest in camp to help grow true leaders for tomorrow.

As a result of COVID-19 and restrictions that have been put in place, Ohio 4-H has made the very difficult decision to suspend 4-H camps this summer. While we are saddened by this news, we fully support the decision to keep our youth safe because the health of our campers, staff and volunteers are our highest priority. However, this decision has impacted our camps financially and will make it difficult to maintain or retain our camps. Unfortunately, without the income provided by camper’s registration, our camp cannot cover ongoing basic costs (insurance, utilities, etc.) to make it to next year. Your contribution will help sustain our camp until campers can safely return in the future. 4-H Camp Clifton is tucked away in the south side of the Clifton Gorge and John Bryan State Park near Yellow Spring, Ohio. Opening in 1929, Camp Clifton has hosted more than 2,000 youth annually from Madison, Greene, Union, Shelby, Logan, Champaign, Clark, Preble and Fayette counties. For 91 years, 4-H youth have spent the best week of summer at 4-H Camp Clifton! A hike to the artesian well in the Clifton Gorge is a favorite tradition of many campers. Other camp facilities enjoyed include the campfire circle, high ropes course, swimming pool, ballfield, trail to vespers, tether ball, gaga ball and 22 much beloved cabins (everyone has their favorite). But the reason we support our camp facility is because of the connections we’ve made at camp; a teen counselor to look up to, a new friend and countless 4-H camp memories.

It is our goal to keep the Kelleys Island 4-H Camp open for future generations to enjoy, but we need your help. 2020 was supposed to be the 75th year of Kelleys Island 4-H camping experiences.

In order to meet the necessary operating expenses and make a few camp improvements, our goal is to raise $15,000. Please consider helping more than 1,000 youth from Crawford, Erie, Lorain, Medina, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca and Wyandot counties, as well as Ohio Sea Camp, Operation Military Kids camps and various school athletic & band camps.

Please write in the special instructions textbox which camp you would like to support. At 4-H Camp Piedmont, a hike to Copperhead Rock is a highlight for youth. On Piedmont Lake, campers can try kayaking and stand up paddle boards. The shooting range provides an opportunity to learn how to safely handle and respect firearms and archery equipment. The pool, games, talent shows, campfires and many camp traditions provide classic 4-H camp memories. Close to 2,000 youth from Belmont, Carroll, Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson, Monroe, Noble and Tuscarawas counties camp here each year, and Camp Piedmont also hosts one of the statewide shooting sports camps. Schools, churches and adult organizations also use the camp facilities. 4-H Camp Piedmont is tucked away in the northwest corner of Belmont County along the shore of Lake Piedmont, opening in 1948 thanks to the efforts of the Eastern Ohio Extension Camps, Inc. and what is now known as the Muskingum Water Conservancy District. For more than 70 years, 4-H youth have spent the best week of summer at 4-H Camp Piedmont.

Please write in the special instructions textbox which camp you would like to support. Since 1947, 4-H Camp Palmer has been making moments matter. As we get ready for the summer of 2020, those moments will look quite different. Instead of being together at our happy place, we will have to stay home. The campfire will be quiet. The cabins will be unoccupied. The circle of chairs will be empty. 4-H Camp Palmer is a modern camping complex in Northwest Ohio nestled away in the woods adjacent to Harrison State Park in Fayette, Ohio. Operated in conjunction with The Ohio State University, and Ohio State University Extension, the camp features complete indoor and outdoor living and recreational facilities. Approximately 2,800 youth and adults camp annually at 4-H Camp Palmer. There are eleven surrounding county 4-H programs who call 4-H Camp Palmer home, including: Allen, Auglaize, Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert, Williams and Wood counties. In addition to the county 4-H camps, 4-H Camp Palmer is host to annual user groups, includin: schools, band camps, churches and adult organizations. One of the most memorable experiences a 4-H member will ever have is attending 4-H camp. 4-H Camp Palmer takes great pride in the fact that we can offer a wide variety of activities to help make those memories. Harrison Lake and the surrounding forest provide a backdrop for campers to canoe, kayak, paddleboard, fish, hike and participate in team-building activities. The shooting sports range provides an opportunity to learn how to safely handle and respect firearms and archery equipment. And of course, camp wouldn’t be camp without the traditional programs of swimming, talent shows, night hikes, snacks and evening campfires. This is where memories are made. 85 percent of 4-H Camp Palmer’s operating budget comes from user fees, but it is important to note that the camp strives to keep fees as low as possible to assure as many youth as possible can afford to attend camp. As a result, we operate on a very tight budget. When unexpected costs, facility improvements and major renovations are needed, we rely heavily on contributions from the community to subsidize the camp’s needs. As a result of COVID-19 and the restrictions that have been put in place, Ohio 4-H has made the very difficult decision to suspend 4-H camps this summer. While we are saddened by this news, we fully support the decision to keep our youth safe because the health of our campers, staff and volunteers are our highest priority. However, with this decision comes the challenge of keeping 4-H Camp Palmer afloat while our yearly income has been reduced by 75 percent. Now more than ever, 4-H Camp Palmer needs your help until we can welcome our youth back in the summer of 2021. In an effort to help keep camp afloat, our goal is to raise $20,000 in order to ease the financial burden 4-H Camp Palmer is currently experiencing.

Please write in the special instructions textbox which camp you would like to support. 4-H Camp Hervida needs your help to fund a cabin replacement project. Cabin #8 was closed in 2019 due to an unstable foundation, sloping floor and mold caused by excessive moisture. The plan is to build a new 20' X 24' cabin on the same location. The new cabin will include a ramp for handicap accessibility. As a result of COVID-19 and restrictions that have been put in place, Ohio 4-H has made the very difficult decision to cancel 4-H camps through August 31st. Other spring/summer camps traditionally held at Camp Hervida have also been canceled. While we are saddened by this news, we fully support the decision to keep our youth safe because the health of our campers, staff and volunteers are our highest priority. However, the income generated from these camps would have been used to begin the funding process to replace Cabin #8. Founded in 1922, Hervida 4-H Camp, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) youth organization consisting of 200-acres with a seasonal camping facility. The camp is located near Waterford in Washington County, Ohio. Hervida’s mission is to develop an appreciation of outdoor residential camping for the recreational, social and educational development of youth and adults. The camp is used by youth and adults from southeastern Ohio and northwestern West Virginia who are involved in 4-H functions (camps, meetings and fundraisers), Washington & Morgan County Ohio State University Extension programs, church camps/groups, school organizations, outdoor education camps, community youth/adult programs and family reunions. The camp averages over 6,000 visitors annually. Hervida is a 98-year old residential camp and is named in honor of John Hervey, the agricultural Extension agent who established the camping program, and his wife, Ida, who served as camp staff. In the early years, the land was leased and only 4-H Youth Development offered camping programs. Camps for adults began in the late 1920's when Ohio State Extension developed residential, educational programs for men and women. In 1940, the land was purchased and the Camp was incorporated. Since 1949, the Camp has been open to community groups, schools, organizations and businesses for rent.

Please write in the special instructions textbox which camp you would like to support. Camp Graham is a great place for youth to learn skills that prepare them to lead into the future. The unique setting helps youth develop valuable skills such as self-confidence, leadership, decision making, communication, cooperation and respect for others...just to name a few. These life skills are taught while participating in nature sessions, navigating a canoe with a new friend, concentrating on a team building challenge and even bunking in a cabin. Over 1,800 youth grow from these experiences each year. 4-H Camp Graham is located on 70 acres of rolling woodlands along the Todd's Fork in southwestern Ohio. The goal of Camp Graham is to provide a safe, rustic woodland environment where youth develop life skills through hands-on educational programs, while making friendships that last a lifetime. 4-H members from Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Montgomery and Warren Counties call Camp Graham their home away from home every summer. As a result of COVID-19 and the restrictions that have been put in place, Ohio 4-H has made the very difficult decision to suspend 4-H camps this summer; therefore, 4-H’ers will not be allowed to camp until after August 31st. While we are saddened by this news, we fully support the decision to keep our youth safe because the health of our campers, staff and volunteers are our highest priority. However, this decision has impacted our camps financially and will make it difficult to maintain or retain our camps. Camp Graham needs your help until we can welcome our youth back in the summer of 2021. Over the years, Camp Graham has positively impacted thousands of campers. Now is your opportunity to give back to Camp Graham by helping us reach our goal of raising $20,000.

In a traditional year, more than 2,000 4-H’ers take part in our camping program. Many outside groups use the facility throughout the year for family reunions, weddings, retreats and more! In the summer, our sleeping facilities can accommodate up to 300 people and 160 in the winter. In 2019, we were the recipients of a Youth Development Grant from the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation that allowed us to construct a new lodging and meeting facility at the base of the boys' hill. This building also provides restrooms closer to the boys' cabins. Additionally, through this grant and our ongoing fundraising efforts, we have updated the HVAC system in Harrison Powell Lodge.

You can also visit our current project <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/21471">here</a>, to help celebrate 10 years of Moms2B. Why Your Support Matters Moms2B provides direct services to expectant and new mothers with the aim of reducing infant deaths and improving infant and maternal outcomes. Our families live in poverty and face food insecurity, poor housing and neighborhood violence. Many suffer from mental illness and domestic violence. As we practice social distancing and shelter at home through the COVID-19 storm, our families’ struggles are exacerbated. Incomes have disappeared. Stress and anxiety has increased. Access to healthy food is even scarcer. Despite necessary changes to our daily operations, Moms2B remains a safe haven – a trusted friend – in the midst of this pandemic. Moms in our program have been seeking additional services and emergency assistance. In addition, new moms are enrolling at an unprecedented rate. Our team is working to coordinate and provide for the critical needs of the families we serve and, in turn, our expenses are increasing at a rapid pace. We are stretching resources as we are able, but demand is quickly outpacing the dollars we have in hand. We are actively pursuing new sources of support to help cover critical needs for our families. Among the most critical need is ensuring our families have access to nutritious meals daily and essential needs. About Moms2B Moms2B is an innovative community-based pregnancy program for low income women, established by The Ohio State University, in 2010. Moms2B is designed to: <ul> <li> Improve the health status of at-risk communities </li> <li> Empower pregnant women to deliver full-term healthy babies </li> <li> Reduce low birth weight infants </li> <li> Reduce infant mortality </li> <li> Eliminate racial and economic disparities in infant mortality </li> </ul> The Moms2B program reaches 795 pregnant women every year and an almost equal number of postpartum women; 85% of these women are enrolled in Medicaid; 10% are uninsured. Nearly 2/3rds are African American. Moms2B interacts with women in community settings, in six churches, Ohio State East Hospital, Wallace Auditorium and Mount Carmel West’s Center for Healthy Living. Pregnant women in these settings are interviewed and will be referred to the prenatal care clinics of their choice.

The Ohio State Crew team is a student-run organization, not sponsored by university athletics. We proudly pay for our own equipment, coaching, travel and lodging – a budget that annually exceeds $130,000. Itʼs no small task, but then again, we aren’t your average Buckeyes. Please help us maintain our unique tradition with a donation today! Our goal of $8,000 will be used to help fund our trip to the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA) national championship regatta. In the last few years we have found improvement in our final placement there, and we hope to continue that success this year. The regatta takes place on May 22-24th in Gainesville, GA on the 1996 Olympic rowing course. The team will be racing against 60+ other universities with the desire of being the first boat across the finish line. The student athletes on this team work hard for the opportunity to participate in this sport. Members must individually contribute or fundraise $2500 in membership dues per year in order to participate. In addition to keeping up with their studies, athletes have mandatory practice 6 days a week, and most hold jobs or participate in other extracurricular activities. Most weekends that we are not racing, we are busy keeping up our Rent-A-Rower program, where we do yard work for Columbus neighbors as a fundraiser for our team. A trip to ACRA for 50 student athletes plus coaching staff will have the following expenses: 2 nights in Hotel: $3000 Rental of Passenger Vans: $5000 Gas for Vans and Trailer: $1000 Regatta Entry/Affiliate Fees: $1500 TOTAL: $10,500 Your contribution to Ohio State Crew will support the team in their quest for a national championship and help alleviate the financial pressure on the student-athletes. Let's Row to ACRA! GO BUCKS!

For the past 12 years, LiFEsports has been using sport to empower over 6,000 young people in our community. The LiFEsports Initiative recognizes that youth sports are about much more than playing ball – it’s about giving young people skills they can use both on and off the field. That’s why LiFEsports uses athletics to teach youth valuable life skills. Each summer, the LiFEsports Initiative provides a free, four-week summer camp to over 600 young people. This year, due to COVID, our program must pivot to provide a remote summer camp experience. We are creating a virtual home-based program utilizing ‘Sport in a Bag’ and are hoping to serve 1,000 kids. Over a 6-week period, each child will receive a bag every two weeks with different sports equipment designed to keep them active and engaged. In addition to sports and fitness equipment, LiFEsports will provide access to virtual pre-recorded sport and fitness activities and live Chalk Talk lessons that will focus on four critical social skills that will help youth grow and mature: Self-control, Effort, Teamwork and Social Responsibility, or S.E.T.S. It is clear that LiFEsports programming is even more crucial today given these increasingly stressful circumstances and challenges. Your support is critical to ensuring that this Buckeye tradition continues. Your gift today will help LiFEsports continue to impact our community one child at a time.

Awakening Student Organization Fundraiser

By The Ohio State University

Help support student-planned events, gatherings, a sense of community and more through Awakening at The Ohio State University at Mansfield.

Help support student-planned events, gatherings, a sense of community and more through Awakening at The Ohio State University at Mansfield. Aliyah Burton, a student at Ohio State Mansfield, noticed something missing in her college life. She realized that all students on campus were on their way to the next step in their life. Whether that next step is the main campus in Columbus or a workplace at a new job, she recognized how easy it was for herself, and other students, to “bypass [the college experience] like it’s meaningless.” Attempting to avoid the cycle of “just trying to get through school,” Aliyah says, “[Awakening] was a good way to get plugged into a community that I didn’t realize I needed until I got into it. I was like oh man, you were missing this. I wasn’t at a church at the time, and God really met that need through Awakening.” Now Aliyah is the student leader of Awakening on Campus (AOC). Awakening's vision is to provide an environment in which students may find personal, professional and spiritual satisfaction. With community at its heart, Awakening offers a place to belong for our Buckeyes. Feeling connected is such an important aspect of college life. The transition from high school to college is hard for many students. It can feel lonely, uncomfortable and overwhelming at times. According to the <a href="https://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/programs/safe-supportive/school-connectedness">American Psychological Association</a>, “Students who feel connected to their school are more likely to have better academic achievement.” Awakening allows students to network with their peers, go on retreats, serve within the community and most importantly, find a sense of belonging. They offer a unique understanding and empathetic student organization and eagerly welcome all students. AOC hosts monthly worship nights and weekly Bible studies in the Scarlet and Grey Cafe. However, they need additional funds to continue providing social activities and retreat opportunities for Ohio State Mansfield students. Some of these social events include Capture the Flag nights, game nights, free pizza and coffee during finals, and dance parties. In the past, Awakening hosted a pizza luncheon with Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel and has been able to host weekly physical activities, like intramural volleyball matches, in partnership with local churches. AOC also has offered its students a chance to travel to different nation-wide events such as a Christmas concert in Indianapolis. By financially supporting Awakening, you will provide special opportunities for our students to make long-lasting friendships and memories while attending The Ohio State Mansfield campus. Our goal is to raise $2,000 in one month. These funds will greatly assist Awakening not only in their ability to reach students who are longing for a sense of belonging, but also in their capability to provide student members with priceless spiritual experiences. Ephesians 5:14. “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Baseball Club Pledge Drive 2020

Help Support the 50 members of the nationally ranked Baseball Club program and their efforts to win a World Series title.

Help Support the 50 members of the nationally ranked Baseball Club program and their efforts to win a World Series title. Club Baseball Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-CF-BuckeyeFunder&fund=313830">here</a>. The success of our program has been in large part due to the annual donations provided by family, friends and alumni of the program that help offset the $70,000 annual budget. Our $12,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses: <ul> <li>Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags and training items</li> <li>Travel for conference, Spring Training and post-season games <ul> <li>Includes hotels, van rentals and fuel</li> </ul> </li> <li>Umpires and Field rental</li> <li>Home, away and alternate uniforms</li> </ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 300 teams divided into 3 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Tampa, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has a .686 win percentage over the past 20 seasons versus college teams and 12 playoff appearances over the past 8 seasons. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with current rankings of #14 out of 138 teams for DI and #6 out of 132 teams for DII. We sincerely appreciate any donation amount you can provide and thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and GO BUCKS!

WOW Science Kits for Kids 2020

If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-CF-BuckeyeFunder&fund=312760">here</a>. The wonders of science are all around us! The Wonders of Our World (WOW) science outreach program at The Ohio State University brings creative, hands-on science experiments to elementary school classrooms (grades K-5). The program was founded by Dr. Susan Olesik in 1999 in collaboration with Chapman Elementary in the Dublin City Schools. Today, the WOW program works with three Columbus City Elementary Schools at a time, adopting each school for three years. In this three-year period, we cover a variety of science unit topics (biology, chemistry, physics, electricity, sound, plants, space and more) and visit every classroom once a month. We work with roughly 46 teachers from three schools and around 1,000 elementary school aged children every year. The WOW program is a collaborative science outreach education program between active scientists and elementary school teachers. The WOW Program is made possible with help from over 70 Ohio State science and engineering undergraduate students. In addition to Ohio State students, the WOW Program has affiliates with local science organizations, Battelle and Chemical Abstracts Service. These partners volunteer in the classrooms so that elementary school students can learn scientific and engineering processes from a local scientist or engineer. Once a Columbus City elementary school graduates from the WOW program, the school has manuals to conduct the experiments, but not the actual supplies. We would like to develop a kit that includes materials from all of our 15 units so teachers can continue the WOW experiments. National science scores have improved at the schools we work with, and we want to help these scores continue to improve even after they complete our program. November 2020 Relaunch Like many others, our program has undergone drastic changes in response to the public health crisis. In an effort to continue to deliver exciting and engaging science fun to students, we have transitioned to a virtual programming format. We have introduced new components to our WOW programs, including WOW at Home activities for children of all ages to work on hands-on science activities with supplies they have at home. We are also developing video instruction for our Columbus City elementary schools so that students can still experience our programs even if we cannot visit the schools. Originally, we set up this BuckeyeFunder campaign to raise money for science kits to be provided when the school graduates from our programs. Due to this new virtual format, now we would like to provide a kit to each school at the start of a new unit. Each kit would contain not only the experiment supplies to work on these activities in the classroom, but also video instruction from WOW volunteers so the elementary students can still learn about the topic from a scientist or engineer. During this new normal, it is more important than ever that we are able to bring out the scientist in every student! With your support, we hope to develop kits for each school so that students can continue to benefit from WOW now and after we graduate their school. Your contribution to our fundraiser will make development of these kits possible! Help us spread the excitement of science to the scientists of tomorrow!

Center for Foodborne Illness Research & Prevention 2019

By Barbara Kowalcyk

Help us celebrate what should have been Kevin Kowalcyk’s 21st birthday by supporting CFI’s efforts to prevent foodborne disease!

Help us celebrate what should have been Kevin Kowalcyk’s 21st birthday by supporting CFI’s efforts to prevent foodborne disease! Barbara Kowalcyk Although this giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please check out our 2020 Buckeye Funder campaign <a href="https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/23837">here</a>. On December 10th, Kevin Kowalcyk should be celebrating his 21st birthday but he isn't. In 2001, at age 2 1/2, Kevin became one of the estimated 3,000 people to die each year in the United States from foodborne illness. Fueled by his passing, his mother, Barbara Kowalcyk and grandmother, Patricia Buck devoted their careers to preventing others from getting sick or dying from contaminated food and promoting stronger food safety policies and practices that protect public health. Eighteen years later, they are still fighting to prevent illnesses like Kevin's. The Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention (CFI) was founded as a non-profit organization by Kowalcyk and Buck in 2006 to facilitate, encourage, and promote research on food safety; translate and communicate science and its implications for food safety to stakeholders; and work on behalf of consumers to implement a stronger, more science-based food system that prevents foodborne diseases. Over the years, CFI has earned a reputation as a leader in improving food safety policies and practices through science-based approaches. Among its many contributions, CFI collaborated with other groups to develop, pass, and implement the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (FSMA), which was the first major overhaul of food safety oversight at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in more than 70 years. The center also joined multiple efforts to strengthen government resources for national and state food safety programs, and it led an effort to require mandatory labeling of mechanically tenderized beef products, which have been associated with foodborne illnesses. In 2017, Kowalcyk joined the faculty at Ohio State and brought CFI to the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Foodborne illness is a serious public health issue that causes an estimated 600 million illnesses and 420,000 deaths - mostly in children - globally each year. CFI’s mission is to advance a more scientific, risk-based food safety system that prevents these illnesses and protects public health by translating science into policy and practice. For example, CFI faculty, staff and students are currently working to develop and implement a risk-based framework for food safety management and resource allocation in Ethiopia as a model for other low- and middle-income countries to reduce foodborne illnesses and deaths and increase equitable consumption of a safe, affordable and nutritious diet. Closer to home, CFI recently held its inaugural event at Ohio State, which featured leaders from the three primary federal food safety agencies and was attended by over 100 food safety professionals from around the state and the country. To learn more about CFI's work, please visit <a href="https://foodsafety.osu.edu/">https://foodsafety.osu.edu/</a>. The goal of this campaign is to celebrate Kevin Kowalcyk's 21st birthday by supporting CFI's efforts to prevent foodborne disease. Funds will be used to support student experiential learning opportunities, additional on-campus events, research supplies, statistical software subscriptions, travel to domestic and international food safety meetings, and much more. For example, CFI is currently conducting a project in Guatemala that examines the association between prenatal exposure to a fungus commonly found in maize and the risk of low birthweight. As part of the project, CFI is taking students to Guatemala over spring break to study the maize supply chain and field test the survey. Reaching our goal of $5,000 would support travel for three students. Every little bit helps so please consider giving today. Happy Birthday, Kevin!

Thank you for supporting our 5th annual crowdfunding campaign! The John Glenn College of Public Affairs offers an exciting opportunity for Ohio State students to study and work in the nation's capital. The Washington Academic Internship Program (WAIP) selects outstanding undergraduates from any major to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. as John Glenn Fellows. This opportunity, while priceless, costs students an extra $4,400 for their semester in Washington, making it cost prohibitive for many to go. For the past 4 years, supporters of WAIP have come together every February to make the program more accessible for Ohio State students. Thanks to your support, we have raised over $87,000, sending 20 students to Washington for a life changing experience without the burden of housing. Students work in field placements that reflect their particular areas of academic interest. Recent internships include the EPA, U.S. Department of Education, Children's Defense Fund, Partnership for Public Service, Battelle, U.S. Department of Commerce, the White House, U.S. Senate and the Federal Judicial Center. The internships are life changing and allow students to apply what they've learned in the classroom. While in Washington, John Glenn Fellows remain fully registered Ohio State students. Students earn academic credit hours for their internship, the research seminar in which a policy paper is developed, and a course on policymaking and public service in the Washington community. Students will deepen their understanding of policy issues through weekly policy salons with experts. Friday study tours each week will also allow students to explore and experience different aspects of Washington. Participants in the program meet policy professionals and interact with Ohio State alumni in the region. This interaction has value far beyond the semester in which the students are involved in the program. Real opportunities are presented for career advice, professional development, and cross-generational exchange. Many participants return to Washington after graduation and credit their early success in landing their first job out of college to WAIP. WAIP plays a critical role in the professional development of Buckeyes interested in public service - help us ensure that every deserving student has the chance to participate.

The Ohio State University Men’s Soccer Club is a student run organization that provides students with the opportunity to further their soccer careers in a competitive manner without the requirements that apply to a varsity athlete. The team is made up of 30 student athletes, and 3 coaches that volunteer and dedicate their time to the team. The team and its coaching staff push each other to be the best soccer players they can be, while creating bonds and friendships that make us better individuals. The team practices three times a week while in season and have one or more games on the weekends during the fall semester. The team spends lots of time together on and off the field and it truly becomes a family like environment. As a result, the team finished first in their conference during the regular season. The team competes in the Eastern Division of the Men’s Midwest Alliance Soccer Conference and plays teams throughout the state of Ohio. OSUFC went undefeated and finished with a record of 8-2-0 (W-T-L) and were the MASC East Division Champions. During the regular season the team scored 46 goals and only gave up 5. The post season started on October 26 when OSUFC traveled to Westfield, Indiana for the Regional Tournament. OSUFC won its eighth Regional Championship in team history as the Buckeyes defeated Michigan 2-0 in the Regional Final. OSUFC received an automatic bid to play in the National Tournament in Round Rock, Texas in late November. The earnings from this project will help the team offset the following expenses:<ul><li>Equipment such as soccer balls, pinnies, cones, jerseys</li><li>Travel costs for regular season, the Regional and National Tournaments<ul><li>Ex. Hotels, Flights, Van/Bus Rentals, Fuel</li></ul></li><li>Field reservation for games and practices</li><li>Referee payments</li></ul> Below is a list of our past achievements that would have been impossible without our supporters 2013: Regional Tournament Champions and Final Four appearance at National Tournament, Phoenix AZ 2014: Regional Tournament Champions and National Champions at National Tournament, Memphis TN 2016: Regional Tournament Champions and National Runner-Up at National Tournament, Foley AL 2017: Regional Runner-Ups and Sweet Sixteen Appearance at National Tournament, Phoenix AZ 2018: Final 4 appearance and 3rd place winner at National Tournament, Foley AL 2019: Regional Champions and to be continued… We truly appreciate any support or donation you make towards OSUFC!

Help us <a href="http://www.mymediamate.com/lantern-michigan-daily-rivalry">beat Michigan</a> and ensure that our tradition of student journalism, one that consistently puts The Lantern among the best student news organizations in the country, continues for years and decades to come. The Lantern’s rich tradition of tirelessly serving as the student voice for Ohio State students, faculty, staff, and alumni remains unchanged since our first newspaper was printed in 1881. Though the technologies and techniques available to our students evolve with the times, especially in this multimedia and digital-minded age, the laboratory that is The Lantern newsroom continues as a collaborative, investigative and creative space for student reporters. Today’s student journalists experience the same challenges and triumphs of storytelling as their predecessors. The Lantern needs your help to face a new and growing challenge. The Lantern is entirely supported by the money it makes from its advertising. Just like many professional newspapers, our student newspaper’s financial future is threatened by decreasing print advertising revenues. That is why we are building an endowment, a fund that will provide a reliable source of income year after year. Your donation will help build this endowment, which will help us pay for the following expenses: <ul> <li>Equipment such as cameras, laptops, newsroom computers and software.</li> <li>Printing and distribution of the newspaper.</li> <li>Travel costs to cover away, bowl, championship and tournament games.</li> <li>Monthly stipends for The Lantern editing staff.</li> </ul> We are proud to join forces with the Michigan Daily, the student newspaper for that school up north, to report on The Game in a manner that’s unprecedented in our 138-year history. In the spirit of that rivalry, we also don’t want to lose to our journalistic colleagues in this fundraising challenge. Thanks for your support!

The 4-H Camp Ohio Youth Education Center is nestled along the Rocky Fork Stream approximately ten miles east of Utica, Ohio. It is situated on more than 500 acres among beautiful rolling hills. It is a full service camp that offers a wide variety of personal and environmental education opportunities. Approximately 8,000 youth and adults camp annually at 4-H Camp Ohio. These user groups are primarily from 4-H and school groups. In addition, 4-H Camp Ohio provides a wonderful retreat and workshop setting for civic organizations, businesses, scout groups, family reunions, and others. 4-H Camp Ohio is the home camping facility for fourteen county 4-H programs including Ashland, Coshocton, Delaware, Franklin, Hancock, Hardin, Holmes, Knox, Licking, Marion, Morrow, Muskingum, Perry, and Wayne counties. It is also the home of the ever popular Ohio 4-H Leadership Camp for teens from across the state. Each year, thousands of young 4-H members look forward to their favorite week of the year at their county's 4-H camp! Ninety-eight percent of the camp's operating budget comes from user fees but 4-H Camp Ohio strives to keep our user fees as low as possible to help assure as many youth as possible can afford to attend camp. We're proud to offer such an affordable option to families. In order to keep those fees low, we rely heavily on small contributions that help subsidize facility improvements, but need larger donations when major renovations or improvements are planned. This is where you can help! The current bathrooms on the west side of camp were constructed over 50 years ago. Time and use have taken their toll on the bathrooms. Periodic updates and general maintenance have helped keep the bathrooms functional. However, bandages can only help so much and this bathroom remodeling project has risen to the top of our priority list. This effort is important to 4-H Camp Ohio because we know from the feedback of users that facility conditions have a significant impact on their decision to participate in camp programs. So far, camp has raised over $32,000 in grant money to begin this project, but in order to complete the whole project an additional $30,000 is needed. With your donation, camp can have new bathrooms on the west side of camp by the beginning of camping season in 2020. Please consider donating today! * Any funds raised above what is required for the bathroom renovations will be frugally spent on other needed renovations around camp such as updating electricity in cabins, dining hall improvements, cabin repairs, building new bunks, and more! No dollar goes unused! Current Stall in the Bathrooms on the West Side of Camp

Your gift today will offer Buckeyes the chance to affect change here in Columbus and beyond!

Your gift will enable deserving students the opportunity to participate in campus activities when need might otherwise make it difficult or impossible for them.

The Student-Alumni Council Alumni Society Emerging Leaders Endowment fund supports several large-scale campus programs including traditions like Homecoming Pep Rally, Dinner for 12 Buckeyes, and Buck-I-Run. Through these programs, students are given opportunities to connect and network with other students and alumni while maintaining the spirit of our alma mater by building relationships between the past and present of Ohio State. These events require a great deal of long-term planning, budgeting, and communication to execute success. SAC leaders who run these events acquire and refine these abilities, ultimately developing invaluable personal and professional skills along the way. Due to the ever-changing distribution of annual funding, some of these programs have suffered from decreased budgets, limiting our potential to reach and connect to as many members of the Ohio State community as possible. For example, the number of Dinners for 12 Buckeyes has reduced from five annual dinners to three. As a result, the reach to students and alumni has decreased by about 300 participants. This serves as one example out of many of our events that have struggled to grow without the necessary funds to procure supplies and involvement for their highest potential. This endowment would not only empower leaders in SAC to take initiative and be creative within their programs to fuel growth, but also support our organization in advancing The Ohio State University through tradition, diversity, and involvement. Please consider making a gift to contribute to the programs and leaders of Student-Alumni Council as we celebrate 150 years of our alma mater! Thank you for all your support! Go Bucks!

The Ecosystem Health Unit at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine is growing, and we need your help! This new program at the College of Veterinary Medicine provides various opportunities for research, public outreach, and teaching at the professional and graduate level in zoo and wildlife conservation medicine, welfare and ecosystem health. Since our start two years ago, we have expanded our faculty number and have worked with other colleges and national agencies that contribute to holistically examining ecosystem health. Now, we are looking for a new way to further our research and student opportunities—and you can help. While our program is seeing steady success in innovative research and ideas, there remains a gap regarding local access. As we work to examine the health and well-being of Ohio’s wildlife under anthropogenic stressors, we have found that we lack proper tools to help us study the impact of algal blooms and disease transmission in wildlife and native species. To combat this problem, we are seeking your support to help us purchase an inshore boat, and we have a goal to raise $10,000 to make that purchase possible. Incorporating a boat will allow us essential access to the coastal regions of Lake Erie to collect samples that will inform us of the health, ill-health, resilience, and disease of sentinel species living within these challenging regions as well as providing access to the numerous waterways that harbor alligators in the southern United States to undertake another crucial role our unit plays- the conservation of species that are or were once endangered. These projects will provide us with a platform to teach professional and graduate student courses from, giving them incredibly unique hands-on experiences in the field. It is our responsibility to educate the next generation of ecosystem health veterinarians and researchers. They will have a role as stewards in reversing the decline of endangered species and addressing the impact we have on our environment. Without elevating our teaching method, we cannot do this important work. Our current method of lugging kayaks out into these waters does not allow us to take this work to the next level. With your help, we can. With your support, our students will have access to environmentally important sites to collect samples and we can expand their learning opportunities; giving them a vital, first-hand understanding of ecosystem health. This boat will have a significant impact on our students and their future as ecosystem health professionals. Give today to help us in our quest to do innovative and impactful research while training the next generation of Buckeye veterinarians.

When you support Social Change, you provide essential resources to local communities and families.

We are comprised of about 30 athletes and 2 fully dedicated coaches who wanted to get the full college experience while still playing the sport they love. We promote the development of players both on and off the field through competitive practices and games during the season while still encouraging players to be the best version of themselves in the classroom. Participating in the East Division of the Women’s Midwest Alliance Soccer Conference, OSUWSC plays both conference and non-conference teams throughout the fall season. Results from the season determine Regional and National Tournament eligibility. This year, the Regional Tournament takes place in Madison, Wisconsin and the National Tournament takes place in Round Rock, Texas.

Support the Ohio State club water polo team! Men's Club Water Polo The Ohio State Men's Water Polo team is a student run organization that strives to compete at the highest level against teams all across the nation. We have 29 players from all around the world, some who have competed for 8+ years and others who are playing for their first time. Our team focuses on being as competitive as possible while still maintaining a fun and friendly atmosphere for our players. This year, the team decided to make a bold change; we switched conferences from the Great Lakes Division to the Big 10. This change means tougher competition against bigger schools and more traveling. We believe that the Big 10 conference will allow for our team to train better for a successful run at nationals. This year, the Big 10 Championship Tournament will be held in none other than Ann Arbor, hosted by TTUN. We will go head to head with rivals such as TTUN themselves, as well as Michigan St. in order to secure a spot at the National Collegiate Club Championship. The money that this project supplies will help us with the following expenses: <ul> <li>Equipment such as balls, caps, and weight belts</li> <li>Travel costs for regular season tournaments and for the National Collegiate Club Championship (should we qualify)</li> <li>Hotel fees, airfare, and gas for driving</li> <li>Pool time reservations for hosting tournaments at Ohio State</li> <li>Referee fees</li> <li>Coaches' stipends</li> <li>Tournament entry fees</li> </ul> Below is a list of our past achievements that would have been impossible without our supporters: <ul> <li>Great Lakes Conference Championships (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017)</li> <li>National Collegiate Club Championships (2013 - 6th Place, 2014 - 5th Place, 2017 - 6th Place, 2018 - 7th Place)</li> <li>Various Academic All-American Awards</li> <li>All-American 2nd Team (Drew Wilson) 2018</li> <li>All-American Honorable Mention (Alex Puthoff, Ryan Shepard) 2018</li> </ul> We truly appreciate any support or donation you make towards the Ohio State Men's Water Polo Team!

One of the most impactful components of the Fisher Futures Investment Banking program is the trips we take to New York and Chicago. Every year, students mention the trips when asked what was most valuable to them as members of Fisher Futures program. And, our alumni are key to the success - assisting with setting up meetings at their firms and bringing other professionals into the presentations. This creates great networking opportunities for the students. We are now asking for another level of support for the trips. Since the students find that they need to make multiple trips to their desired city for networking purposes, this can become financially challenging. In an effort to provide greater access, we are hoping to provide full financial support for both the New York and Chicago trips to all students in the program. To achieve this goal, we are reaching out to our alumni and friends of the program. A $500 donation will essentially support the trip to New York for one student and a $300 donation will support the trip to Chicago for one student. Please feel free to support as many trips as you would like! As I reflect back on all my years at Ohio State, I identify the Fisher Futures program as one of the most meaningful and successful programs I've had the privilege to be involved with. The alumni support has been critical to the success of this program - we literally could not do it without you! I'm hoping I can once again count on your support, and that you will feel a donation to this Funder program will give you a sense of connection back to Ohio State and Fisher! Cheers!

Celeste Lab is more than just a building: It’s a community of people —students, faculty, researchers and alumni like you —who are brought together by a love of science and learning, and a belief that our work helps to shape a better world. Our lab is one of the busiest facilities on The Ohio State University campus, providing instruction and research space for more than 10,000 students per year. But with all this wear and tear, the building is in need of upgrades to mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as new elevators and repairs to its exterior. The time has come for a comprehensive renovation of Celeste Laboratory. We can’t advance research and educate the next generation of scientists without it. And we can’t achieve it without your help. Your support of this renovation will help maintain our Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as a national leader in education and research, as demonstrated through consistent rankings from the National Resource Council as one of the best programs of its kind in the United States. This upgrade will have a significant impact on all students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. New chemistry laboratories and support spaces will encourage faculty and students to work together on innovative research — something they can’t adequately do in the current facility. Please make a gift to our Celeste Lab. Together, we know we can provide a top-notch facility for the next generation of Buckeyes. We’re excited to share that we have an alumni donor willing to match the first $50,000 we raise. Your support will have double the impact! Please give today!

Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp serves 10 counties for their summer residential camps as well as hosting multiple regional and statewide events. Overall, more than 2,000 4-H’ers take part in our camping program each year. Many outside groups use the facility throughout the year for family reunions, weddings, retreats and more! In the summer, our sleeping facilities can accommodate up to 300 people and 160 in the winter. As a busy 4-H camping facility, we strive to provide quality programs and services to our clients as well as pledging our “health to better living for our club, community, country and our world.” With the number of people our facility hosts each year, and to continue to offer quality programs which includes a good night’s sleep, there is a need for new bunk beds and mattresses. We believe by providing a comfortable bed, our clientele will get a better night’s sleep which is important to a person’s overall health. Additionally, by improving our facilities, we hope to expand our reach to additional rental groups which allows us to make other improvements to the facility to make it a place for generations to come. Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp is also currently in the process of building a new sleeping and conference facility at camp! For this new facility, we hope to be able to sleep an additional 30 people year round. This building is being made possible by a $250,000 grant by the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation, which will also allow us to make major upgrades to the Harrison Powell Lodge HVAC system. This grant requires a $50,000 match. The Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp Board needs your help to reach its goal of new mattresses for Harrison Powell Lodge and to purchase beds for the new facility. Your donation will be counted toward our $50,000 match for the new facility. Help us reach our goal and donate Bucks for Bunks!

We are finally healthy, have one of the top recruiting classes in the nation coming into our family and are only a few months away from moving into our new home, the Covelli Center. To add to this next chapter, our ladies are preparing for a trip of a lifetime to South America this summer. Our team will be traveling to Brazil and Peru to compete, explore the amazing cultures each country has to offer and to build strong connections through community service. We will train with and compete against some of the best players in the world in Rio de Janeiro, home of our own Buckeye, Bia Franklin. Our group will then leave Brazil and fly to Lima, Peru to train and compete alongside their national teams. When considering where to travel for our trip, it was essential to me for our student-athletes to have a transformative experience beyond volleyball. Built into our team’s trip will be unique, life impacting moments very few will ever get the opportunity be a part of. Our student-athletes will work together in sustainable community service projects with Peruvian children and adults. The overarching purpose is to develop lifelong relationships via projects that have meaning and worth to the Peruvian community. Finally, our student-athletes will spend the last days of our trip at Machu Picchu, exploring all the incredible history and sights it has to offer. This is where you can become an invaluable part of our Buckeye student-athletes’ journey. Our trip is being made possible entirely through the generous donations and support of Buckeye Nation as well as past, present and future friends of our program. All support given to our international trip is truly appreciated by our players and coaches. We look forward to sharing the memories of this unbelievable trip to South America with you. Thanks so much for all you do, from our family to yours, Geoff Carlston Head Coach, Ohio State Women’s Volleyball

For the past 11 years, LiFEsports has been using sport to empower over 6,000 young people in our community. The LiFEsports Initiative recognizes that youth sports are about much more than playing ball – it’s about giving young people skills they can use both on and off the field. That’s why LiFEsports uses athletics to teach youth valuable life skills. Each summer, the LiFEsports Initiative provides a free, four-week summer camp to over 600 young people. Our buses pick up youth from over 15 bus stops across the city. Youth have access to daily programming that focuses on four critical social skills: Self-control, Effort, Teamwork and Social Responsibility, or S.E.T.S. These skills are taught not only in the classroom through Chalk Talk, a play-based social skills curriculum, but also on the playing field. Previous donor support has given each child who attends LiFEsports: <ul> <li> 45 hours of sports skills instruction </li> <li> 15 hours of play-based social skills instruction focused on S.E.T.S. </li> <li> free transportation to and from camp, </li> <li> 2 free meals each day, </li> <li> an opportunity for a free dental and physical health exam, and </li> <li> memories to last a lifetime! </li> </ul> As we embark on our 11th summer of the LiFEsports summer camp, your support is critical to ensuring that this Buckeye tradition continues. Your gift today will help LiFEsports continue to impact our community one child at a time.

Donate to help Ohio State students get better access to healthy food through Best Food Forward's Best Friend Fund! Best Food Forward strives to make healthy produce more affordable and accessible to the Ohio State community. We do this through the power of bulk buying. We harness the power of numbers to purchase produce in bulk directly from the wholesaler to minimize mark-ups and provide a package to our customers at about 50% of the cost of grocery stores. Our buyers (or BFFs as we like to call them), can purchase a dorm package with ready-to-eat produce or a cooking package with produce that requires some prep for $6.99 each. We host bulk-buys bi-weekly on Saturdays where our BFFs can pick up their orders and enjoy brunch with us. To date, we have saved our buyers $27,000. While our produce is already significantly more affordable for our buyers, we know that our prices can still be cost prohibitive for students who need it the most. This is why we started the Best Friend Fund. Any student can enroll on a rolling basis in the Best Friend Fund and receive a package from us for free, no questions asked. We strive to make a more equitable, stigma-free food culture at Ohio State and believe that the Best Friend Fund will dismantle another barrier to access to healthy food at Ohio State. A small donation of just $7 can provide 1 package for a student. Every dollar counts! Support us with a donation so that we can together make Ohio State a healthier and more vibrant community of BFFs :) If you want to learn more about Best Food Forward or order from us, you can find more information here: <a href="https://www.bestfoodforward.org">https://www.bestfoodforward.org</a>

We proudly pay for our own equipment, coaching, travel, and lodging – a budget that annually exceeds $130,000. Itʼs no small task, but then again, we aren’t your average Buckeyes. Please help us maintain our unique tradition with a donation today! Our goal of $10,000 will be used to help fund our trip to the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA) national championship regatta. In the last few years we have found improvement in our final placement there, and we hope to continue that success this year. The regatta takes place on May 24-26th in Gainesville, GA on the 1996 Olympic rowing course. The team will be racing against 60+ other universities with the desire of being the first boat across the finish line. The student athletes on this team work hard for the opportunity to participate in this sport. Members must individually contribute or fundraise $2500 in membership dues per year in order to participate. In addition to keeping up with their studies, athletes have mandatory practice 6 days a week, and most hold jobs or participate in other extracurricular activities. Most weekends that we are not racing, we are busy keeping up our Rent-A-Rower program, where we do yard work for Columbus neighbors as a fundraiser for our team. A trip to ACRA for 50 student athletes plus coaching staff will have the following expenses: 2 nights in Hotel: $3000 Rental of Passenger Vans: $5000 Gas for vans and trailer: $1000 Regatta Entry/Affiliate Fees: $1500 TOTAL: $10,500 Your contribution to Ohio State Crew will support the team in their quest for a national championship and help alleviate the financial pressure on the student-athletes. Let's Row to ACRA! GO BUCKS!

Our $12,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses: <ul> <li> Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags, and training items</li> <li>Travel for conference, Spring Training, and post-season games <ul> <li>Includes hotels, van rentals, and fuel</li> </ul> </li> <li>Umpires and Field rental</li> <li>Home, away, and alternate uniforms</li> </ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 300 teams divided into 3 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Tampa, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has a .678 win percentage over the past 19 seasons versus college teams and 10 playoff appearances over the past 7 seasons. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with current rankings of #6 out of 138 teams for DI and #2 out of 130 teams for DII. We sincerely appreciate any donation amount you can provide and thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and GO BUCKS!

The best, and arguably only, way to start the development of intercultural competence is by learning to express oneself in a different language and not having the convenience of one’s native language to tell others “what’s what;” it is the ability to meet at a new level in order to interact effectively and appropriately. During the morning sessions of the camp, Ohio State undergraduate students will teach full-immersion small group language lessons (3-6 children) in four different languages followed by a culture lesson taught in English. In the afternoons, a graduate student will provide instruction and activities on global issues, lead small groups in playing international games, and guide individual and group reflection on living in a globalized world and what it means to be a global citizen. This camp is a win-win for everyone: children, Ohio State undergraduate students and a graduate student. Please make a gift of any amount to support our program. Our goal is to provide a number of scholarships and snacks for the kids, and help fund the financial needs of the Global Citizen Summer Camp in 2020.

The Association for Women in Mathematics

By Bella Scharff

Help support the Association for Women in Mathematics!

Help support the Association for Women in Mathematics! We appreciate any contributions that would help us reach our goals. Thank you for supporting The Ohio State University Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics! Our Goal We, the Association for Women in Mathematics Student Chapter at The Ohio State University (AWM), are currently hoping to raise $1,500 to fund our organization. We will primarily be using the funds raised from this project to fund our upcoming events this semester. One exciting event we are looking forward to is the Integral Bowl, which we will be hosting in March. The Integral Bowl will be a competition, much like a spelling bee, where students compete both individually and on teams to see who can do integrals with the most speed and accuracy. The entire campus is invited to attend, and we expect a large turnout for the event. As such we hope to secure enough funding to provide food and giveaways for the event as well as exciting prizes for our winners! Other events that we will be hosting this semester that require funding include a Pi Day celebration, a gender bias training seminar, a focus group about the current climate in the math department at Ohio State, as well as various social events throughout the semester. The majority of the money raised will go towards funding our events for the semester as well as operational costs for our organization. The second item we hope to raise funds for is a new initiative for our organization. Math textbooks are among the most expensive and can range from $50-$300. As math majors, we often have to buy two or three math books per semester, which is often difficult for students to afford. As a result, we would like to be able to subsidize this cost for our members. A percentage of the money will go towards giving back to our members through textbook funding. We will give members money to use towards their textbooks for the semester. Though this will likely not cover their entire textbook cost, it would relieve some of the burden created by buying math books. Any funds raised over our $1,500 goal will be utilized towards AWM efforts. Our Purpose The Association for Women in Mathematics is a national organization with a chapter here at Ohio State. AWM is a non-profit organization founded in 1971 and the national organization currently has more than 3500 members (women and men) representing a broad spectrum of the mathematical community — from the United States and around the world! Our chapter was formed a few years ago here at Ohio State to help bring the goals of AWM to our campus. Women currently represent only 34% of the undergraduate mathematics major at Ohio State. With women in the minority in the math department, it is important for them to feel empowered and have their voices heard. Through our AWM chapter, we give students the opportunity to connect with faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as encourage them to be candid about struggles they have faced within the math department. Additionally, we hope to inspire more female undergraduate students to consider continuing their education to a Ph.D. in mathematics. Currently, only 13% of Ohio State’s 123 Ph.D. candidates are female, and we hope that by promoting research and graduate school opportunities to undergraduates this ratio will increase. Since its founding in 1971 by a small but passionate group of women mathematicians, the Association for Women in Mathematics has grown into the leading national society for women in the mathematical sciences and is one of the 16 societies comprising the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. AWM’s programs not only support those who participate in them directly, but also help to influence the mathematics culture more generally so that young women entering the field today encounter an environment that is more nurturing than that of the 1970s and 1980s. AWM has played a critical role in increasing the presence and visibility of women in the mathematical sciences in the nearly 50-year history of the AWM. Your support is greatly appreciated!

The John Glenn College of Public Affairs offers an exciting opportunity for Ohio State students to study and work in the nation's capital. The Washington Academic Internship Program (WAIP) selects outstanding undergraduates from any major to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. as John Glenn Fellows. This opportunity, while priceless, costs students an extra $4,400 for their semester in Washington, making it cost prohibitive for many to go. Students work in field placements that reflect their particular areas of academic interest. Recent internships include the EPA, U.S. Department of Education, Children's Defense Fund, Partnership for Public Service, Battelle, U.S. Department of Commerce, the White House, U.S. Senate and the Federal Judicial Center. The internships are life changing and allow students to apply what they've learned in the classroom. While in Washington, John Glenn Fellows remain fully registered Ohio State students. Students earn academic credit hours for their internship, the research seminar in which a policy paper is developed, and a course on policymaking and public service in the Washington community. Students will deepen their understanding of policy issues through weekly policy salons with experts. Friday study tours each week will also allow students to explore and experience different aspects of Washington. Participants in the program meet policy professionals and interact with Ohio State alumni in the region. This interaction has value far beyond the semester in which the students are involved in the program. Real opportunities are presented for career advice, professional development, and cross-generational exchange. Many participants return to Washington after graduation and credit their early success in landing their first job out of college to WAIP. WAIP plays a critical role in the professional development of Buckeyes interested in public service- help us ensure that every deserving student has the chance to participate.

Ohio State University Club Gymnastics

By OSU Club Gymnastics

Help support the members of Ohio State University's Club Gymnastics team!

Help support the members of Ohio State University's Club Gymnastics team! OSU Club Gymnastics Our Team: <a href="http://osuclubgymnastics.weebly.com/">The Ohio State University Gymnastics Club </a>is a student run organization devoted to providing an opportunity for students to learn and train gymnastics. We are a member of the <a href="http://www.naigc.net">National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs, the NAIGC</a>. This year we have over 60 members with more than half joining the club for the first time. What makes our club special is our eclectic group of members. We have athletes that have devotedly trained countless hours in the gym since they could barely walk. But perhaps more uniquely, we have members that would watch the Olympics and dream of flipping, but never have the opportunity or means to try it, until our club became an option. Many might say that you can't start gymnastics as an adult, but our club strives to follow the motto of the NAIGC: For the Love of the Sport. We each strive to be the best athletes we can be regardless of background. This requires that our more experienced gymnasts help coach the beginners, which fosters a positive environment of collaboration and growth. Our club has achieved many competition successes in the past year. With the women winning both competitions this year and the men placing first and second. At Nationals in Fort Worth last year, our women’s team placed 6th overall. Hannah Bush also placed 13th on Uneven Bars and Tori Wolfe placed 12th on Balance Beam. On the men’s side, Ethan Meister placed 2nd on the Floor and 1st on High Bar, David Thomas placed 7th on Pommel Horse, Sean Chilelli placed 4th on Still Rings and 2nd on Parallel Bars, and Brighton Kahrs placed 9th on High Bar. Both teams have gotten promising new additions that should help team succeed even more at this year’s nationals. Our club is in the position to be the best it has ever been, but we need your help! Our goal is for every member to participate fully regardless of their financial situation. Our Challenges and Solutions: Our club as a number of financial challenges that place a burden on our members. First, unlike clubs many clubs that practice on campus, we have to practice at an outside facility which charges rent and requires us to carpool and pay for gas. Furthermore, we travel to numerous competitions throughout the nation requiring travel, lodging and meet fees. Most notably, nationals this year will be held in Daytona Beach, Florida and will cost an estimated $15,000 to $20,000. In the past, the majority of this cost was typically passed along to the members. However, this year, we aim to reduced the financial burden on our members by holistic fundraising campaigns. In addition to monthly fundraisers the team has been hosting (we have already raised 300% of last years fundraising), we are asking for your help in traveling to nationals. Please help us reach our goal by donating what you are able. All of your support is greatly appreciated--whether it be donating financially or spreading the word about our team to your friends and family. With your assistance, we hope to raise at least $5,000 and bring every player to every competition! Anything helps! Last year, a student who attended every competition would have had to pay over $800. Not only is this unacceptable, it is unrealistic in many situations. With our new fundraising efforts and your help, we hope to cut this number in half. Please consider a tax-deductible gift and join our team in support of our dreams to train gymnastics for the years to come! The first $2500 we raise will go toward a scholarship to fully pay the nationals costs for financially struggling members. Any additional money raised will be used to offset the costs for the remainder of our team. All of us from The Ohio State University Gymnastics Club truly appreciate your generosity and support for our team! Thank you!

Toy Adaptation Program Support

By TAP Team

The Toy Adaptation Program (TAP) needs your help so OSU students can apply their engineering knowledge to adapt toys for children with special needs!

The Toy Adaptation Program (TAP) needs your help so OSU students can apply their engineering knowledge to adapt toys for children with special needs! TAP Team Watching a young child play with an interactive toy is a joy many parents take for granted. Holidays and birthdays provide ample opportunities for children to reap the bounties of toy builders’ imaginations but that joy is not accessible for the many families who have a child with a physical disability. The Toy Adaptation Program (TAP) addresses this need by creating experiences for OSU students and community members to apply their engineering knowledge to adapt toys for children with special needs. TAP relies on donor support in order to facilitate workshops to teach toy adaptation. Specifically, TAP facilitates workshops to teach toy adaptation. The adaptation process includes adding an external port to the toy so that an accessibility switch can be used. Workshop participants experience first-hand the positive societal impact of engineering through the modification of electronic toys. Participants apply problem-solving and technical skills to adapt the toys building their own skills and knowledge while supporting the community. The toys are donated to toy lending libraries, therapists, or directly to families who have children with special needs. By making a gift to TAP, you help our students give the gift of play to children with special needs. The funds raised through this campaign will be used to support TAP during the 2019-2020 academic year. This will include workshops for first-year engineering students and other students across campus, along with a holiday workshop for local families. The funds will be used to purchase tools, consumable supplies such as wires and jacks, and, of course, toys! Funds will also be used to support student interns and staff who run the program. All the toys that are adapted will be donated to support those with special needs in the local community and beyond. Thank you in advance for your support!

We are the Ohio State University chapter of a national organization called Engineers Without Borders. The organization is a collection of chapters across the country who use engineering principles to empower communities to meet basic human needs. We are currently working on an agriculture improvement project with the village Njau located in the West African country of Gambia. The community is heavily reliant on their fields for food and supplemental income. However, their unreliable water system often causes them to go days without available water to drink or irrigate crops. We need your help in order to secure the food supply of the community of Njau on our first implementation trip this August. We will be sending a group of students back to Njau to implement a fence improvement in the crop fields of the community. This is necessary to ensure the success of our irrigation improvements in the coming years. The students will also be continuing work with the people of the community on the design of a solar powered irrigation system. Your contribution will help us purchase materials and hire local labor in order to make the changes a reality. Engineers Without Borders is dedicated to forming long-term relationships with communities in need in order to create lasting solutions. Our chapter has roughly 40 student members from a variety of engineering disciplines and related fields. We are united by the desire to apply what we learn in the classroom to make a difference in the lives of others. Through your donation, you will be promoting sustainable change for a community in desperate need. In addition, your generosity will allow our student members to gain the invaluable experience of managing and executing a real world engineering project as students. Our organization and the community of Njau are extremely grateful for your support.

Sports empower young people. Some children, however, don't have the chance to participate. Your support can change that and impact their lives. LiFEsports2018 For ten years, LiFEsports has been using sport to empower over 6,000 young people in our community. As we embark on our 10th anniversary of summer camp, your support is critical to ensuring that this Buckeye tradition continues to have a positive impact on vulnerable youth in our community. The LiFEsports Initiative recognizes that youth sports are about much more than playing ball – it’s about giving young people skills they can use both on and off the field. That’s why LiFEsports uses athletics to teach youth valuable life skills. Each summer, the LiFEsports Initiative provides a free, four-week summer camp to over 600 young people. Our buses pick up youth from over 15 bus stops across the city. Youth have access to daily programming that focuses on four critical social skills: Self-control, Effort, Teamwork and Social Responsibility, or S.E.T.S. These skills are taught not only in the classroom through Chalk Talk, a play-based social skills curriculum, but also on the playing field. Previous donor support has given each child who attends LiFEsports: <ul> <li>45 hours of sports skills instruction</li> <li>15 hours of play-based social skills instruction focused on S.E.T.S.</li> <li>free transportation to and from camp,</li> <li>2 free meals each day,</li> <li>an opportunity for a free dental and physical health exam, and</li> <li>memories to last a lifetime! </li> </ul> Your gift today will help LiFEsports continue to impact our community one child at a time. All donors who are able to give one day of camp for one child ($50 or more) will receive a commemorative OSU LiFEsports 10-year anniversary pin as our thank you for helping us continue this Buckeye tradition.

Help support a vital program that harnesses the arts as a path toward healing, well-being, and enhanced quality of life.

Help support a vital program that harnesses the arts as a path toward healing, well-being, and enhanced quality of life. Wexner Center for the Arts Help us strengthen and expand Art on the Brain, a nationally noted suite of programs at the Wexner Center for the Arts for participants recovering from brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other kinds of trauma. Through art interpretation and group discussion, this innovative initiative fosters healing, resilience, and social re-integration. It engages “hidden” and often underserved demographics, with iterations for people in the post-acute stages of traumatic brain injury; military veterans with PTSD; and women recently released from prison. Through weekly sessions over two months at the Wexner Center, Art on the Brain allows participants to express themselves and challenge their minds as they respond to and discuss contemporary visual art, as well as performing arts. By helping them reintegrate and find a positive way forward—buoyed by others who have undergone similar traumas—the program benefits not only the participants, but also their families, caregivers, and the community at large. Art on the Brain was launched in 2013 by the Wex’s Tracie McCambridge in consultation with the Wexner Medical Center and other local hospitals, and has expanded ever since with the support of additional community partners. The newest iteration—for post-incarcerated women—is especially timely given the opioid and heroin epidemic affecting the state (and affecting many of the women), and given the rising number of women in prison. To identify participants, the Wex will work with an alumni group from the Ohio Reformatory for Women’s Tapestry therapeutic community, which focuses on addiction and preventing recidivism. In Art on the Brain, participants tend to begin by talking about the art, but often end up talking about themselves. One participant opened up to his mother about his addiction for the first time following a discussion about an abstract art piece that he thought spoke to the artist’s inner struggle. Responses to the program have been overwhelmingly positive. A Navy veteran dealing with anxiety and depression said it allowed him “to do something constructive with people and not be in a clinical setting,” while another noted that people felt comfortable expressing themselves “without judgment.” The initiative supports several pillars of President Drake’s Time and Change strategic plan, while also advancing the University’s Discovery Themes of Chronic Brain Injury and Humanities and the Arts. Funds raised through this campaign will help provide honoraria for co-facilitators, artists, and on-site social workers, as well as transportation, food, childcare, and supplies. We hope you will consider supporting Art on the Brain—a new way of fully engaging the arts as a tool for fostering resilience and reintegration.

Help fund The Ohio State Crew team's trip to the ACRA National Championship regatta where they will be racing to bring home the gold!

Help fund The Ohio State Crew team's trip to the ACRA National Championship regatta where they will be racing to bring home the gold! The Ohio State Crew The Ohio State Crew team is a student-run organization, not sponsored by university athletics. We proudly pay for our own equipment, coaching, travel, and lodging – a budget that annually exceeds $130,000. Itʼs no small task, but then again, we aren’t your average Buckeyes. Please help us maintain our unique tradition with a donation today! Our goal of $10,000 will be used to help fund our trip to the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA) national championship regatta. Last year, the team brought home our first national medal since 2012 and we hope to continue that success this year. The regatta takes place on May 26-27th in Gainesville, GA on the 1996 Olympic rowing course. The team will be racing against 60+ other universities with the desire of being the first boat across the finish line. The student athletes on this team work hard for the opportunity to participate in this sport. Members must individually contribute or fundraise $2500 in membership dues per year in order to participate. In addition to keeping up with their studies, athletes have mandatory practice 6 days a week, and most hold jobs or participate in other extracurricular activities. Most weekends that we are not racing, we are busy keeping up our Rent-A-Rower program, where we do yard work for Columbus neighbors as a fundraiser for our team. A trip to ACRA for 50 student athletes plus coaching staff will have the following expenses: 2 nights in Hotel: $3000 Rental of Passenger Vans: $5000 Gas for vans and trailer: $1000 Regatta Entry/Affiliate Fees: $1500 TOTAL: $10,500 Your contribution to Ohio State Crew will support the team in their quest for a national championship and help alleviate the financial pressure on the student-athletes. Let's Row to ACRA! GO BUCKS!

OSU Fishing Team Goes to Nationals 2018

By Cameron Wilt

Help the Ohio State Bass Fishing Team afford the steep cost of going to Nationals and representing Ohio State at the highest level of collegiate fishing!

Help the Ohio State Bass Fishing Team afford the steep cost of going to Nationals and representing Ohio State at the highest level of collegiate fishing! Our program was founded about 10 years ago and is slowly becoming one of the best programs in the Northern Division and the best team here in Ohio. Our success is due mostly to the wide support of friends, family, alumni, and other Buckeye fishing supporters whom help raise the necessary budget to send our anglers all over the country in the three college fishing series (Bassmasters, FLW, and Cabela’s Collegiate) to represent THE Ohio State University on national media such as ESPN, NBC Sports, and CBS Sports. The money raised from this program will go directly to paying for: <ul> <li>Necessary equipment like: Rods, reels, baits, tackle, and weather determinant clothing </li> <li>Travel cost to the 3 National Championships this Year held in Alabama, Louisiana and Oklahoma <ul> <li>Fuel to and from the Tournaments</li> <li>House Rental to accommodate team and boats</li> <li>Food and on the water snacks to keep the team focused</li> </ul> </li> <li>Boat fuel for all Official Practice and Tournament Days</li> <li>Emergency Money for boat repairs (if needed)</li> <li>Beating Michigan</li> </ul> The Ohio State University fishing team is a student club on campus. The club is designed to connect students whom share a similar passion for the sport of fishing and allows angler to enjoy recreational fishing around Campus and Ohio and compete on the national level against schools from all across the country. The club does not receive ANY funding from The Ohio State University. Our team is 100% funded by our anglers themselves and the support and donations of our family, friends and the great Buckeye faithful’s. While our team is still considered a club here on campus we still face many schools whom teams are sanctioned fully funded varsity sports and compete at a very high level against those schools in the three different college fishing series: Bassmaster, FLW and Cabela's Collegiate Fishing. Each Series has 4 events each school is eligible to fish to try to qualify for their respected national championships. Tournaments are done by school sending as many teams of two angler (Boater and his partner the Co-Angler) and these two man teams go out and try to catch a five fish limit of the heaviest black bass they can. The top 10% percent from each tournament qualify for nationals. So far, this year we have 4 team qualified for Nationals, 3 in the FLW tournament down on the Red River in Louisiana on May 30- June 1, 1 team qualified for the Cabela’s Collegiate National Championship on Lake Pickwick in Alabama on May 21-25, and we have our qualifying tournament on Lake Cherokee in Tennessee on May 10-12 for the Bassmaster College National Championship which will be on Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma on July19-21. Our teams look to represent Buckeye Nation on the largest of stages for collegiate fishing and appreciate your support and help so much. Thank you, Tight Lines, and Go Bucks! O H…

Bringing Water to Marwa Village 2018

By The Ohio State University

Help us install a rainwater harvesting system to bring clean, accessible water to Marwa Village.

Help us install a rainwater harvesting system to bring clean, accessible water to Marwa Village. We are Ohio State students enrolled through the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering and the School of Environment and Natural Resources working with students from the University of Dodoma in Tanzania, to bring water to the remote Tanzanian village of Marwa and in doing so, address the complex development needs of the Villagers. By bringing water to Marwa village the lives of the people will be changed forever. We want to continue changing lives, but we need your generous support! We are a part of the Ohio State Sustainable and Resilient Tanzanian Community program which is an international interdisciplinary service-learning program and our first project is Maji Marwa - bringing water to Marwa Village. Maji is the Swahili word for water. Marwa is a rural village, with a predominantly Maasai population, located along the Pangani River in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. Our long-term goal is to design and construct a water distribution and filtration system taking water from the Pangani River and pumping it to all the sub-villages. Through the valuable support from Donors from our first Buckeye Funder Campaign last year, we built our first rainwater harvesting system onto the Village medical clinic. In the months following, we received positive feedback from the local doctor and nurses that this system has positively contributed to improved health and safety for village residents particularly the young mothers and new born babies. We rigorously documented the construction process of the rainwater harvesting system onto the Village medical clinic and after reflection and study we have identified a number of key innovations that we can contribute to the local community to improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of building rainwater harvesting system in Marwa village. Our short-term goal is to install rainwater harvesting systems onto all public facilities across the four sub-villages of Marwa. The money raised through this campaign will be used to pay for the materials and equipment employing local tradespeople and to facilitate the communications and planning for the construction of our next rainwater harvesting system onto the primary school in Marwa. Any funds raised surplus to our need for the rainwater harvesting system for Marwa primary school will be committed to building future systems in the community and for education and sensitization programs for improved health and sanitation initiatives related to bringing water to Marwa. We are committed to working with the people of Marwa Village and building their capacity and skills so that the contributions we share are sustainable. Marwa's main source of water is the Pangani River, a water flow off of Mt. Kilimanjaro. At present the women and young girls walk five to seven hours each day, every day, to collect water for domestic household and personal use. This includes everyday providing their children with at least 1 gallon of water each to take to school to enable them to wash their hands after using the washroom and to contribute to the cleaning of their classrooms and school facilities. As we bring water to Marwa we are working to improve the health and education of the children and their Families. Your support will help make a real difference to the lives and future of the people of Marwa. Please embrace this opportunity – if you have any questions or suggestions please contact any of our project leaders. Asante sana (thank you in Swahili). Ashe oleng (thank you in Ki Maasai).

Baseball Club Pledge Drive 2018

By Baseball Club

Help Support the 50 members of the nationally ranked Baseball Club program and their efforts to win a World Series title.

Help Support the 50 members of the nationally ranked Baseball Club program and their efforts to win a World Series title. Baseball Club The success of our program has been in large part due to the annual donations provided by family, friends, and alumni of the program that help offset the $70,000 annual budget. Our $12,000 goal for donations will go directly towards the following expenses: <ul> <li> Equipment including baseballs, new bats, team bags, and training items</li> <li>Travel for conference, Spring Training, and post-season games <ul> <li>Includes hotels, van rentals, and fuel</li> </ul> </li> <li>Umpires and Field rental</li> <li>Home, away, and alternate uniforms</li> </ul> The Baseball Club is under the Department of Recreational Sports within the Office of Student Life at The Ohio State University. The club is designed for students who wish to continue their baseball careers, but focus primarily on their education at the university. The program provides, on average, 50 students an opportunity to play competitive baseball versus other collegiate club teams. While the time commitment is significantly less than a varsity level program, the competition is very similar to NCAA Division III programs. We have two teams who compete in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division I and Division II levels. The NCBA is made up of more than 300 teams divided into 3 Divisions. Each team schedules more than 30 games per season including their annual trip to Tampa, Florida to play 6 games in the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. There is also an opportunity to play in a Regional and World Series playoffs. The program has a .667 win percentage over the past 18 seasons versus college teams and 8 playoff appearances over the past 6 seasons. This success on the field has made the program one of the best in the country with current rankings of #8 for DI and #1 for DII. We sincerely appreciate any donation amount you can provide and thoughtful generosity to the program. Thank you and GO BUCKS!

The <a href="https://music.osu.edu/wgc">Women’s Glee Club</a> at The Ohio State University was established in 1903. The group of roughly 60 music-loving students strives to connect and empower women through music-making and sisterhood by challenging them to find their own voices. Comprised of a variety of majors and interests with singers ranging from freshmen to graduate students, WGC sets an example to the university of what it truly means to bond and be a part of team. Members continually work to expand musicianship through challenging and varied repertoire. For the 2017-18 academic year, WGC will be working toward a performance that brings to light the vast differences of empowerment and education of women across the globe and specifically in places of poverty. This mission is inspired by the book Half the Sky, written by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, which discusses how the education of women can fight to eradicate poverty. Joining the efforts of the <a href="http://www.halftheskymovement.org/issues/education.html">Half the Sky Movement</a>, the Women’s Glee Club calls all individuals to take action in educating themselves as well as supporting the advancement of women in poverty to gain a necessary education to survive. For more information on this year's mission and our recent activities, check out the Fall 2017 issue our newsletter, <a href="https://sway.com/SzejDrlk9iaKlqQW?ref=Link">The Medley.</a> To promote their message of awareness,The Women’s Glee Club will hold a spring concept with musical selections that focus on the importance of education and equality for all. Additionally, their spring tour in which they will travel to St. Louis, Missouri offers the opportunity for them to spread their message even further as they will stop at various high schools and university campuses sharing their message to a larger student body. In doing so, they hope to emphasize the importance of female education and encourage young singers and students alike to continue their paths to success.

Take a seat in Ohio Stadium and Save Hearts. Learn more

Take a seat in Ohio Stadium and Save Hearts. Learn more By Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital, part of The Wexner Medical Center Donate $20 or more today to add a LEGO® figure to sit in this replica Ohio Stadium. Your donations directly support lifesaving heart and vascular research at Ohio State. About LEGO® Ohio Stadium This replica of Ohio Stadium was created by Ohio State heart and vascular researcher and LEGO® enthusiast, Paul Janssen, PhD. This exhibit has earned him much acclaim for its scale and intricate details. This replica measures 8 feet by 6 feet and comprises more than 1 million LEGO® bricks. This stadium has been displayed at the Columbus Museum of Art and has been featured by news outlets around the country. Your Donations at Work Dr. Janssen’s research lab at Ohio State is focused on the study of human hearts, many of which come from patients who have received a heart transplant at Ohio State. Dr. Janssen’s research is one of a kind in the nation, and the donations made to the LEGO® stadium directly fund the Human Heart Program. This program includes 17 research labs at Ohio State dedicated to improving our understanding of heart disease and how to prevent and treat it. Frequently Asked Questions Q: I want to donate two or more LEGO® minifigures. How do I specify that? A: Each donation of $20 will add one minifigure to the stadium. If you’d like to “sit together” with family and friends simply make a gift amounting to the number of LEGO® minifigures you wish to support. For example, a gift of $100 will place five minifigures in the stadium, together. Q: How do I know which minifigure is mine? Can I customize it? A: Unfortunately due to time and resource limitations, Dr. Janssen cannot customize minifigures — these minifigures are chosen randomly and will not be visibly linked to any particular donor. Q: Will my name or my honoree's name be added to the stadium near my minifigure? A: We cannot add names to the physical display, but you can choose to add your name to our online donor wall when you make your donation. Q: What happens when I make a donation in honor of or in memory of someone? Will their name be added to the display? A: The honoree or memorialized person's name will be listed on our online donor wall. We are not able to add names or other personalized information to the physical display. Q: When will my minifigure be added to the stadium? A: We will tally up the donations every week, and then LEGO® architect Dr. Janssen will add the new minifigures at his earliest convenience. Q. I have a question that's not answered here. Who do I contact? A: Please call 614-293-5522 with your questions.

Symphonic Band at Ohio State Help the musicians of The Ohio State University Symphonic Band perform in our Nation’s Capital! Financial resources for this tour are being garnered collaboratively between The Ohio State University School of Music, donors, and the student musicians - who are 50% first-year students, 80% music education majors, 10% majors outside of music. Reaching the $10,000 goal for this BuckeyeFunder campaign would enable all student musicians to take part in the tour with little-to-no individual expense. We are fortunate to have a donor who is matching dollar-for-dollar the funds raised during this campaign. The musicians of <a href="https://music.osu.edu/bands/ensembles/symphonic-band">The Ohio State University Symphonic Band</a> will be taking part in a seven-day tour immediately following completion of semester examinations in May, 2018. Nearly 18 months of planning has resulted in an enriching set of performances, engagements and interactions in Pittsburgh, PA and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The musical centerpiece of the tour is a shared performance with the <a href="http://www.usarmyband.com/">United States Army Band "Pershing's Own"</a> at the beautiful <a href="https://www.nvcc.edu/schlesingercenter/rentals/concert-hall.html">Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall</a> in Alexandria, VA. We believe that performance will mark the first such interaction between a Washington, D.C. Military Band and a concert band from Ohio State. The Symphonic Band is honored to also being sharing performances with the <a href="https://www.norwinsd.org/Page/573">Norwin High School Wind Ensemble</a> (Tim Daniels, conductor), the <a href="https://music.gmu.edu/ensembles/large-ensembles/wind-symphony/">George Mason University Wind Symphony</a> (Mark Camphouse, conductor) and the <a href="http://www.vgmb.com/index.html">Virginia Grand Military Band</a> (Loras Schissel, conductor). Residencies with high school students at Norwin High School and <a href="http://www.annandalebands.org/index.php">Annandale High School</a> (Joseph Witkowski, conductor) are also scheduled while on tour. In addition to musical performance, students will take part in a Wreath Laying Ceremony at <a href="http://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/">Arlington National Cemetery</a>, a guided tour of the <a href="https://www.visitthecapitol.gov/">United States Capitol</a>, the <a href="https://nmaahc.si.edu/">National Museum of African American History and Culture</a>, the <a href="https://loc.gov/">Library of Congress</a>, and a host of other historical and cultural experiences. Thank you for your assistance in reaching the $10,000 goal for this BuckeyeFunder campaign. Remember that we have a generous donor who is matching dollar-for-dollar the funds raised during this campaign, so each individual contribution is doubled!

Help empower local teen girls as they develop their own original screenplays and work with professionals in the field during a 10-week intensive at the Wex.

Help empower local teen girls as they develop their own original screenplays and work with professionals in the field during a 10-week intensive at the Wex. Wexner Center for the Arts Help support a screenwriting boot camp for teen girls and empower them to tell their own stories! Ten aspiring young female writers from all corners of Columbus are participating in the Wexner Center’s 10 Girls/10 Weeks, an intensive workshop led by filmmaker and Wright State professor Chinonye Chukwu and Wex educator Jean Pitman. The girls—ages 13–17, selected by Chukwu and Pitman after an open call for applications—represent a diversity of backgrounds, ethnicities, and socioeconomic circumstances, and hail from a wide range of schools: public, private, urban, suburban, rural, and charter. During the 10-week program, the girls are gathering every Sunday to analyze films, discuss techniques, share ideas, conduct research, go on field trips, meet with filmmakers, and to write, revise, and ultimately complete their own short scripts. The workshop culminates with readings of the finished scripts by a professional local actor. This special initiative grew out of Chukwu’s <a href="https://wexarts.org/public-programs/pens-pictures">Pens to Pictures</a>, a moviemaking workshop for incarcerated women, supported by a Wex residency. Response to Pens to Pictures was so positive that the Wex engaged Chukwu for this new program for girls to guide them in telling their own stories – a timely project, given the well-publicized dearth of female voices in film. (Pens to Pictures and 10 Girls/10 Weeks also coincide with a focus on female artists this year at the Wex.) This rare opportunity to work with Chukwu and Pitman – and with each other – will have a lasting impact on participants, exposing them to professionals in the fields of writing and filmmaking, and fostering their own screenwriting skills. 10 Girls/10 Weeks is a true “town/gown” partnership – an example of the Ohio State’s commitment to engage the broader community. The program advances Ohio State’s <a href="https://president.osu.edu/strategicplan">Time and Change</a> strategic plan—which encourages creative expression to drive positive social impact—and supports both the <a href="https://discovery.osu.edu/">Discovery Theme</a> of Humanities and the Arts, and the <a href="https://president.osu.edu/2020-vision/">2020 Vision</a> areas of Community Engagement and Diversity & Inclusion. Join us in encouraging these girls and their growth as writers and artists! Your contribution will defray costs associated with screenwriting software, transportation, and Chukwu’s honorarium. Thank you!

HESPA focuses on the leadership of college students. Help support Ohio State's commitment to providing a holistic student life experience! Student Personnel Association We are the Higher Education Student Personnel Association, grounded in our mission to guide students through their college experience. As graduate students in Ohio State's Higher Education and Student Affairs program, we recognize the college experience is a pivotal time for students to engage in personal growth. For some, navigating a new world of independence can be difficult as academics and extracurricular involvements become a priority and new friendships begin to form. As a whole, we have collectively found purpose in dedicating our life's work to empowering college students to find their authentic selves and envision a purposeful future through their education. The Student Personnel Assistantship Program has created spaces for us, as graduate students, to advise and mentor students, create and implement strategic programming centered around developing student's leadership skills, and engage our campus in multi-cultural conversations to encourage positive social change within our communities. However, our work does not just encompass Ohio State's campus. Between our master's and doctoral students, we have 101 individuals working within residence halls, student activities, honors and scholars programs, student conduct, Ohio State's Multi-Cultural Center, and in areas directly pertaining to college access, equity, and student theory. With your help, we can continue to provide the best services to our students in these areas, learn from others in the field, and share best practices across the country through research and conference attendance. As new challenges continue to affect today's college students, we are dedicated to learning from and attributing to the best practices of our colleagues worldwide. As an organization striving to better understand college access, diversity and equity, and student development, we need your help to continue to serve future generations of college students. We are looking to provide research grants, conference travel grants, and professional development funds to our master's and doctoral students so that we may continue to leave a legacy in today's field. Our $2,500 goal will provide: <ul> <li>$1,000 in master's and doctoral research grants</li> <li>$1,000 in conference travel funds</li> <li>$500 in professional development fund allowing our organization to bring in qualified speakers and develop programming to enhance our professional skills</li> </ul> We sincerely appreciate your continuous support and your thoughtful generosity. Thank you, and Go Bucks!

Carmen Ohio Themed Orchestral Composition

By Buckeye Philharmonic

Support the creation of a beautiful orchestra piece paying homage to Ohio State.

Support the creation of a beautiful orchestra piece paying homage to Ohio State. Buckeye Philharmonic Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=DEV_AG-0-BuckeyeFunder-ON-S&fund=315954">here.</a> The <a href="http://u.osu.edu/buckeyephilharmonic">Buckeye Philharmonic Orchestra</a> at Ohio State is seeking to commission a musical composition. Scored for a full symphonic orchestra, the composition will integrate fragments of the Ohio State University alma mater, Carmen Ohio. Jason Wyse will be the composer for this piece. Mr. Wyse graduated from Ohio State with a Master of Music degree in Wind Conducting in 2003. He is currently Director of Bands at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School. The piece will be premiered in May 2018 at Buckeye Philharmonic’s final concert of the Spring 2018 semester. This particular idea for the piece came from one of Mr. Wyse’s previous compositions entitled Loyal Sons and Daughters, a homage to his high school students that thoughtfully incorporates the high school’s alma mater using creative compositional techniques. We are extremely excited to see what he can do with our beautiful Carmen Ohio in what is sure to be a special homage to The Ohio State University. This project is very special for Buckeye Philharmonic, a young organization that is only in its fifth year of existence. Due to budget constraints, we have been constricted to playing public domain music that we can access for free. This hinders our ability to be exposed to music that was written within the past 100 years or so, depending entirely on when the copyright of a particular piece expires. We thought that a perfect way to leap out of this repertoire constraint is to fund a brand new piece of music and even have it personalized for this university! There are several reasons we are excited about commissioning a new piece of music: <ul> <li> Allows us the opportunity to rehearse and perform something that nobody has ever heard before! </li> <li> Adds to the relatively small collection of modern orchestral works, as this piece would be available for other ensembles to perform </li> <li> Advances our young organization and broadens our horizons of what we are capable of accomplishing </li> <li> The first orchestra piece written for Ohio State, using our beautiful alma mater, Carmen Ohio! </li> <li> Due to our connection and vicinity to the composer, we will be working with Mr. Wyse to make this an individualized experience. It is an extremely exciting prospect to be able to work with the composer, an opportunity that is impossible with any public domain music! </li> </ul> This composition will undoubtedly strike a chord with the entire Ohio State community, depicting the beauty and power of this wonderful institution. Composer Biography Jason Wyse is Director of Bands at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School (OH), where he directs the 300-member “Marching Bees,” Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Symphonic Band, teaches AP Music Theory, and assists with Middle School concert bands.

Early Childhood Braille Transcription Project

By Program in Visual Impairments

Help us provide braillewriters and braille literacy opportunities for students in our brand new undergraduate program in Early Childhood Visual Impairment.

Help us provide braillewriters and braille literacy opportunities for students in our brand new undergraduate program in Early Childhood Visual Impairment. Program in Visual Impairments Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=DEV_AG-0-BuckeyeFunder-ON-S&fund=315976">here</a>. Early Childhood Braille Transcription Project Beginning in the fall of 2018, OSU will begin accepting up to 35 undergraduate students in a teacher licensure program that will allow those students the opportunity to be certified as both an early childhood teacher and an intervention specialist for the visually impaired. However, as excited as we are to start the program we have a problem – we need braillewriters for our students to learn to read and produce braille and Nemeth (braille math code). Braille knowledge is required for licensure testing and must be taught to students with visual impairments who need this instruction as required by law. Our project is aiming to purchase 35 braillewriters and braillewriter backpacks in order to allow each of the incoming students their own braillewriter to borrow from our lending library for use in their coursework and to practice braille production 24/7. These braillewriters will be returned each year to allow future teachers the opportunity to learn braille. The braillewriter backpacks will allow for ease of transport and will protect against wear and tear from transport. Need for Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TVIs): Did you know….???? <ul> <li>70% of school aged and preschool students served by the Ohio State School for the Blind outreach service were found to not be receiving the services they needed</li> <li>The entire southeastern quadrant of Ohio has almost no TVIs available to serve the children</li> <li>TVIs are responsible for helping to make accommodations and modifications students who are blind and visually impaired need in order to access school curriculum</li> <li>Most general education teachers are not provided the information needed in their training programs to begin to be prepared to have a child with visual impairment in their classroom</li> <li>OSU will be one of only 5 universities offering TVI training at the undergraduate level; and 1 of 2 offering the dual licensure program</li> <li>Dual licensure combinations makes new teachers highly competitive in the job market. </li> </ul> The need for qualified TVIs is great in Ohio and across the country. We need your help to secure proper training materials for our students so that OSU can help to alleviate this problem. We will acknowledge your contributions in print form and for our larger donors, your donations will acknowledged on a plaque in our library and plates on the braillewriters as noted on our contribution list. Thank you for your support of this program. Your contribution is greatly needed and appreciated!

Urban GEMS is a positive youth development program that uses gardening to spark youth engagement in school and community wellness.

Urban GEMS is a positive youth development program that uses gardening to spark youth engagement in school and community wellness. Growing Entrepreneurs Urban GEMS is a positive youth development program developed by OSU criminologist Dr. Deanna Wilkinson in partnership with community partners and OSU extension. Through the work of Urban GEMS community youth, parents, and elders come together to grow healthy food and healthier families. OSU students, faculty, and staff have the opportunity to work in collaboration with community youth to make a difference in the community. Urban GEMS implementation sites include Reaching Higher Heights 4-Life Community Care Center and the Millennium Community School. Additional partners include the the OSU AAAS Community Extension Center, the Parsons Avenue Merchant’s Association, OSU Todd Anthony Bell National Resource Center on the African American Male, the Juice Plus/Tower Garden company, the Garden Tower company, the Aetna Foundation, and the USDA CYFAR program. The Urban GEMS program was designed to address the well documented link between food insecurity and school failure at a neighborhood level. Addressing both the educational and nutritional (basic needs) of young people growing up in economically challenged environments requires new thinking. Urban GEMS features project-based learning and youth leadership opportunities, which include tackling real and significant challenges facing the African American community. The Urban GEMS curriculum integrates food systems, nutrition, art, and culinary arts specifically to improve healthy eating and increase skills of healthful living. High school students seeking academic enrichment and positive youth engagement may enroll in the Urban GEMS program at one of three locations. Youth learn the science of Aeroponic food production with the Tower Garden® system; positive youth development for health and wellness (including socio-emotional, cognitive, and nutritional needs for optimal living); food policy as social justice work; entrepreneurship in the food industry; the basics of business math; and general workforce readiness. Youth are matched up with community and OSU student mentors to expand professional networks toward future success. With indoor farms located at 3500 Refugee Rd, 996 Oakwood Avenue, 905 Mt. Vernon Avenue, and 1854 Parsons Avenue we can provide more opportunities for youth. Urban GEMS has already engaged 235 youth in 2016-2017. Our long term vision is to create a sustainable community-owned business on the south side of Columbus to employ 16-24 year olds in meaningful and living-wage work for the betterment of the community. Our capacity to spread the Urban GEMS program is only limited by resources. We are training the next generation of scientists, mathematicians, accountants, entrepreneurs, culinary artists, and humanitarians. The benefits from Urban GEMS will be realized by many as gardening promotes healing, healthy eating promotes health, and positive youth development strategies promote academic excellence.

College of Social Work Washington, D.C. Fly-In

By The Ohio State University College of Social Work

Help our College of Social Work students get to Washington, D.C. to experience policy analysis and advocacy, and to BE THE CHANGE in our nation’s capital.

Help our College of Social Work students get to Washington, D.C. to experience policy analysis and advocacy, and to BE THE CHANGE in our nation’s capital. Having social workers involved in policy making in Washington, D.C. is critical. The Ohio State University College of Social Work knows the importance of this, and has teamed up with the University of Alabama School of Social Work to offer a unique opportunity for our students to experience policy analysis and advocacy at the national level. This past March both schools traveled to Washington, D.C. with a group of students to share a two day experience that was filled with workshops on how to impact policy through advocacy, scheduled visits on Capitol Hill with members of Congress to advocate for legislation, and a networking reception with members of Congress, which included Ohio Congresswoman Joyce Beatty. Our students also had the opportunity to tour Capitol Hill, meet with NASW headquarters staff, and interact with alumni in the region. OSU selected 15 students (PhD, MSW, BSSW) through an application and interview process. These students were chosen based off their interest in policy and advocacy, professionalism, and dedication to the social work profession. Participants in this program were required to attend several online meeting and trainings with Alabama and OSU staff. This D.C. experience not only provides the participants with hands on experiences in our nation’s capital, but it also presents an opportunity for professional development, cross-generational exchange, and career advancement. A past participant Ahmed Hosni summarized his experience as “truly inspiring”. For the 2018 D.C. Fly-In scheduled for March 20, the College would like to expand the trip and accommodate more students. Although the experiences from this trip are invaluable, the cost for each student averages $1000-$1500 (travel, hotel, food), making it cost prohibitive for many. A donation to the D.C. Fly-In program will provide scholarships for OSU College of Social Work students to participate in this great opportunity, and ultimately to BE THE CHANGE in our nation’s capital!

Lima Campus Chorale goes to Carnegie Hall

By Margaret Young

Help Ohio State Lima Chorale sing at Carnegie Hall in New York City this May.

Help Ohio State Lima Chorale sing at Carnegie Hall in New York City this May. Hello! We are the Ohio State University at Lima Chorale. Last spring, we were invited to perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall alongside the New England Symphony Orchestra and several other talented choral groups. We have been tirelessly fundraising since last spring in order to cover the cost per student of $1,400.00 - a grand total of $56,000.00 not including transportation. This is a great opportunity for all of our members to experience singing in arguably the most historic and beautiful venue in the United States. This is also a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of our members to visit New York City. For the first time, they will be experiencing the culture and enriching atmosphere that only NYC delivers. Our chorale will leave Lima, OH on May 24th and travel by bus to NYC. For the next few days, they will rehearse at Carnegie Hall with the prestigious New England Conservatory's Symphonic Ensemble. The concert will take place on May 29th at 8pm in the Stern Auditorium and Perelman Stage. The piece to be performed is Ola Gjeilo's Sunrise Mass which was premiered in 2008 in Oslo and commissioned for Majorstua and Nova chamber choirs. Since its premier, it has been performed internationally. For more information on the concert itself or to purchase tickets click here: <a href="https://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2017/5/29/0800/PM/New-England-Symphonic-Ensemble/">https://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2017/5/29/0800/PM/New-England-Symphonic-Ensemble/</a> One of our leaders in choir, Becca Schlumbohm ('18) said, "I find myself listening to the Sunrise Mass on a regular basis because it's so stunning. I've always loved the combination of strings and voices. The ability to sing a piece like this was amazing and every time I listen to it I am reminded of our performance of it last year and all of the hard work we put into it. The knowledge that I get to sing it again in a venue like Carnegie Hall and with such talented musicians is astounding." The choirs at Ohio State Lima are not only an outlet for its members to express their creativity and passion for music, but also a foundation upon which many long-lasting friendships have and will be formed. Through music, we have found friends to comfort us in our times of need and celebrate in our successes. We have created a family not by blood, but by choice. Together, we have truly learned the meaning of the phrase, "How Firm Thy Friendship". By donating to our cause, you will help us fuel our bus and our ambitions. No donation is too small and we thank you for your generosity and willingness to help us reach our goal. GO BUCKS!

Bringing Water to Marwa Village 2017

By Ris Twigg

Women in Marwa village, Tanzania are walking 5 to 7 hours everyday to collect water. Help us install a rainwater harvesting system on their medical clinic.

Women in Marwa village, Tanzania are walking 5 to 7 hours everyday to collect water. Help us install a rainwater harvesting system on their medical clinic. We are a part of the OSU Sustainable and Resilient Tanzanian Community program which is based around service-learning and our first project is Maji Marwa - bringing water to Marwa Village (Marwa is the Swahili word for water). We are working to install a rainwater harvesting system on the medical clinic in Marwa Village, Tanzania. The money raised here will pay for the materials and equipment that we need as well as employing local tradespeople and laborers to work with us. We are committed to working with the people of Marwa and building their capacity and skills. We are OSU Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering (CEGE) Capstone students and we have have designed a rainwater harvesting system for the Marwa medical clinic. In May 2017, along with other CEGE students and students from the OSU School of Environment and Natural Resources and the University of Dodoma in Tanzania we will travel to Marwa to build this system and work on developing other water programs as well as much needed education and enterprise programs for the women and community members. By bringing water to Marwa the lives of the people will be changed forever and we must work with them from the start to identify and address these impacts. This rainwater harvesting system is our first project to be implemented. Marwa is a rural village located along the Pangani River in the Ruvu Ward of the Same District, Kilimanjaro Region (Tanzania). The village's main source of water is the Pangani River, a water flow off of Mt. Kilimanjaro. On average, women and young girls walk five to seven hours each day, every day, to collect water for domestic household and personal use. Marwa is a predominantly Maasai community with an estimated population of 7,000 people. The Maasai are under increasing pressure from the Tanzanian and Kenyan national governments to establish permanent village settlements that are transforming their traditional wandering pastoralist lifestyles and culture. Marwa is identified as a “progressive Maasai” community for its commitment to empower female residents and to address aspects of their cultural customs that are no longer appropriate. In addition, the community has made the decision to permanently settle in Marwa. The wandering pastoral life of the Maasai is changing and the Marwa village leadership is proactively seeking strategies and partnerships to engage, on their terms, with the modern world. Your support will help make a real difference to the lives and future of the people of Marwa. Please embrace this opportunity – if you have any questions or suggestions please contact any of our project leaders. Asante sana (thank you in Swahili). Ashe oleng (thank you in Ki Maasai).

You can help fund travel to Madagascar to collect samples from lemurs to evaluate their health and apply a new potential conservation tool.

Something good is growing in Columbus! Support Ohio State’s Wexner Center for the Arts in creating public fruit parks in two developing neighborhoods. Help us cultivate fruit parks in urban Columbus! Ohio State’s Wexner Center for the Arts is bringing together art, food, and the community to beautify and nourish two diverse, rapidly changing Columbus neighborhoods. Created in partnership with <a href="http://fallenfruit.org/">Los Angeles-based artists David Allen Burns and Austin Young</a>, the <a href="http://wexarts.org/public-programs/fallen-fruit-block-after-block">Fallen Fruit of Columbus project</a> will establish public fruit parks in the University District’s Weinland Park and Columbus’s South Side neighborhoods. These two parks, to be installed in April on now-vacant lots, will feature fruit trees and berry bushes in new public gathering spaces, complete with new signage, walkways, and benches. Neighborhood teens will be hired to work on the parks, and volunteers from all over the city will help plant and prep the sites; grafting workshops will be held to spark propagation of additional plantings throughout the neighborhoods. A unique mix of the arts, health and wellness, environmental stewardship, neighborhood beautification, youth engagement, and community collaboration, Fallen Fruit of Columbus will have a positive and lasting effect on these two urban neighborhoods, providing new spaces and fresh fruit for residents and visitors of all backgrounds, ages, and socioeconomic circumstances. With its focus on a sustainable solution to food access, Fallen Fruit of Columbus responds to the University’s Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation, while also supporting components of <a href="https://president.osu.edu/2020-vision/">President Drake’s 2020 Vision</a>, including the focus on food security. The project also enhances all four of the <a href="https://discovery.osu.edu/">University’s Discovery Themes</a>. Help us grow these parks!

Brad Richardson was Distinguished University Professor in Political Science, the IJS founding Director, and a former Honorary Consul General of Japan for Ohio. Brad passed away in 2015. The Memorial Fund will be used to propel us vigorously towards the same goals that Brad promoted. Namely, the funds will support academic and outreach activities that promote Japanese Studies on campus and that enhance the interest, knowledge and discourse on Japan-related topics in the academic communities and general public. Until the contributions to the fund reach the endowment level, the fund shall function as a current-use fund. Thank you to everyone who helped us reach 77% of our goal for the Brad Richardson Memorial Fund in February 2017 by raising $2,310. It is amazing to see how many lives he impacted throughout his career on campus and in the community.

Solar, sustainable agriculture, electrical distribution and you. Learn more about how you can help the Ohio State Engineering service learning efforts. <a href="http://www.montanadeluz.org">Montaña de Luz</a> (MdL) was begun as a hospice for children with HIV/AIDS in Honduras whose parents had died or had become too ill to care for them. Located an hour and half to the East of Tegucigalpa, on top of a mountain, and overlooking a valley of small towns and sugar cane fields, the Mountain of Light is a refuge for children who desperately need the specialized care, and nurturing that MdL offers. In 2003, MdL transitioned from being a hospice to a home thanks to the availability of anti-retroviral medications. Its purpose is to love and care for these vulnerable children, empower them with knowledge and resiliency to grow into productive members of the community, and to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS while working to eliminate discrimination and prejudice against people living with the condition. Ohio State Engineering service learning efforts at Montana de Luz, Honduras, have been running for over 10 years. This year’s class is focusing on three areas: solar, sustainable agriculture, and electrical distribution. The goal is to not only reduce costs for MdL to better achieve its mission of caring for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Honduras, but to provide education, training, and sustainable solutions to promote healthy communities in rural Honduras. A solar panel installation will begin to reduce the electricity bill while taking key appliances off the blackout-prone grid. A solar education team will be dedicated toward preparing workshops to share their knowledge with the staff and children of MdL as well as students from a community high school. To reduce the bills from the other end, an electricity distribution team will make assessments of and implement changes to the electrical distribution at MdL. Drought-resistant, ecologically restorative agricultural practices will be implemented in an effort to produce food and to practice proven strategies for restoring degraded tropical land. To do all this, we need YOUR help! Feel free to reach out to any of the project leaders for more information, we'd be happy to chat!

Support Science outreach - contribute to put a dinosaur in Orton Hall: the 25 foot long carnivorous Cryolophosaurus ellioti to greet you at the front doors.

Support Science outreach - contribute to put a dinosaur in Orton Hall: the 25 foot long carnivorous Cryolophosaurus ellioti to greet you at the front doors. [[Amount Raised]] of $80,000 Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please <a href="https://giveto.osu.edu/makeagift?fund=308759&Source_Code=AGAG-TRG-S-ON-BFiGive">make a gift</a> here. Science education outreach is vital for the United States and an important service of the Orton Geological Museum. More than 20,000 visitors, many of them school children, come to the Museum each year. To increase our impact even more we would like to put a dinosaur skeleton in the lobby of Orton Hall, looking hungrily down at people as they come in the front doors of Orton Hall. And not just any dinosaur, we will erect a skeleton of Cryolophosaurus ellioti, discovered by and named in honor of one of our own OSU geology professors, David Elliot. Found in Antarctica, it is the most complete dinosaur known from that continent and will highlight OSU's long history of research in the polar regions. Although Dr. Elliot discovered it, he is not a paleontologist, so the actual fossils were excavated by another scientist, and the original bones are at his institution. Our skeleton will be a cast, done by the company Research Casting International (RCI) located near Toronto, Canada. RCI has worked on exhibits for museums all over the world, including the wonderful cast of the skull of Dunkleosteus (the giant carnivorous fish from Ohio) that we have here in the Orton Museum. View this short (3 minute) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoK5OWtXu0w">video</a> about the company. The exhibit will cost about $80,000. To raise the funds, we are having this crowdfunding campaign during the month of March. Please help us increase our STEM outreach program by donating today. If more convenient, you may also send a donation directly to the Museum. Please make the check payable to The Ohio State University, please add "Buckeye Funder - A Dinosaur for Orton" in the memo field and mail to Dale Gnidovec, School of Earth Sciences, 125 South Oval Mall, Columbus, OH 43210.

Go Global! Increasing global opportunities for students

By Melanie March

A global perspective is crucial for leaders of today’s companies to maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly global economy. Your gift will be matched 1:1

A global perspective is crucial for leaders of today’s companies to maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly global economy. Your gift will be matched 1:1 <blockquote> "So what I am trying to say that this experience has been life-changing. Asia will humble a person and remind them that there is more to life than just collecting objects. There are people out there to meet, conversations to have, and memories to be. It is just a waking reminder to live each day to the fullest so you can look back on life without regret.” Melanie March, Class of 2017, 2016 Student Exchange Program - Thailand</blockquote> Going Global As students who have had global experiences we know and recognize the growth that happens because of these trips. Not only are we experiencing global business outside of our U.S. borders, we've also come away a better understanding of how to navigate differences in language and more importantly culture. We actively tell our fellow students about our experiences and encourage them to participate in one (or more!) of Fisher's global programs -- whether that be a Global Lab, internship or student exchange program. One of the ways we know that more students would take advantage of these opportunities is be increasing the amount of available scholarships. Which is where we could use your help! We are a group of students who are working together to raise awareness and funds for global student experiences through Fisher College of Business. Throughout the course of our crowdfunding campaign we hope that you gain a better sense of the importance of students seeking out these global experiences. And we hope you are inspired to give, providing additional funds so more of our fellow students are able to participate. 60% This number represents the percentage of our students who decline pursuing an international experience because of financial reasons. We get this. We're financing our 'traditional' studies and these costs are extra. But good news! We have an opportunity from the University when raising dollars for this campaign to have all gifts matched. DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR. Which means that your support is doubled. DOUBLED. 20% Currently, 20% of Fisher students will participate in a global business experience. What if we could double this number, too? With your support we will be able to increase scholarships to provide more necessary funding for our students to say YES! $5,000 Our goal for this campaign is to raise $5,000 from our community: families, friends, & fellow Fisher alumni. That amount would be matched by the University and amount to $10,000 added to the Global Leadership Initiative. We thank you in advance for considering supporting our project. If you have any questions you can reach out to our designated staff person, Jenn Dougherty: 614-688-0089 or dougherty.66@osu.edu. THANK YOU - The Global Leadership Initiative Team!

AWS FABTECH Convention Fundraiser

By The Ohio State University

Fabtech is an opportunity to network and create an out of the classroom experience while learning about real world applications.

Fabtech is an opportunity to network and create an out of the classroom experience while learning about real world applications. NO WORRIES! Even though this buckeyefunder campaign is over, we are still accepting donations directly to our FABTECH fund account at <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?fund=313808">https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?fund=313808</a> Thank you so much for your support!! The American Welding Society Student Chapter at The Ohio State University works hard to provide opportunities for students to gain experience outside the classroom in industry. FABTECH is the largest annual trade show convention for metal forming, fabrication, welding, and finishing. Attending FABTECH is one of the largest opportunities for our students to network and meet other engineers in industry. This year, FABTECH takes place in November 16-18 in Las Vegas. Being college students working to pay for school does not make it easy for many of our students to bear the cost of attending the largest convention. For many of our students, FABTECH would be the first real-world industrial experience outside of the classroom. Many of our professors believe that this is a great experience for the students. Many of our professors attend the show and give talks. During the show all the AWS members have lunch with the Welding Engineering Alumni Association. This gives our group members the opportunity to meet and network with welding engineers that are currently in industry. Your contributions will go towards students’ lodging for the whole trip. We would like to help send as many students go to FABTECH cost free! If we are able to raise enough to cover every students lodging, any extra amount of money will go towards the students' travel cost. For the Ohio State alumni donors, any donation made towards this fundraiser can count towards the alumni association membership requirement ($75 is the minimum donation to be part of the alumni association).

Elevating the Collegiate Recovery Community

By Sarah Nerad

The CRC provides life-saving and life-changing programming to our students in recovery. See how you can help.

The CRC provides life-saving and life-changing programming to our students in recovery. See how you can help. In the fall of 2012, a student in early recovery from drug and alcohol addiction reached out to the university. He asked why there wasn’t a program on campus to support students like him. In his emails, he talked about the importance of finding a new peer group and how isolated he felt seeming to be the only person in recovery on campus. He was brutally honest about his struggles cultivating his nascent recovery and how he found it difficult to balance with his studies. This young man was persistent in his emails and made the case for why a collegiate recovery program was needed at The Ohio State University. It was because of this young man that the Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) was created in March 2013, in the Student Life Student Wellness Center. The program staff has grown from just a part-time graduate student to now having two full time employees. It’s grown to include a dedicated lounge and space on campus for the community to convene and a recovery residence hall. Since its inception, the CRC has served over 120 Ohio State students in or seeking recovery. The CRC provides life-saving and life-changing programming to our students. Some of our major programs and services include: <ul> <li>Individualized recovery plans</li> <li>Recovery informed academic advising</li> <li>Dedicated recovery lounge on campus</li> <li>28-bed recovery residence hall</li> <li>Leadership and professional development</li> <li>Recovery scholarships</li> <li>Sober tailgates</li> <li>Graduation dinner</li> <li>Program orientation</li> </ul> The CRC needs your help to continue creating an extraordinary student experience for our Buckeyes in recovery. We are a program that relies heavily on grant funding along with the support from generous individuals. More and more students are continuing to reach out for help and are returning to school as a result of the CRC, stretching our resources and threatening our ability to provide every student with the opportunity to enter and sustain long-term recovery while also pursuing a degree at The Ohio State University. Help us ensure that no student has to choose between their education and their recovery.

Controlling Mosquito Vectors of Zika and Other Diseases

By Peter Piermarini, Ph.D.

Join us in our efforts to control mosquitoes that transmit Zika and other mosquito-borne diseases.

Join us in our efforts to control mosquitoes that transmit Zika and other mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on our planet Each year mosquitoes infect hundreds of millions of people with a variety of debilitating illnesses (e.g., malaria, dengue fever, West Nile fever, yellow fever, Chikungunya fever) leading to over 500,000 deaths. Zika virus is the most recent mosquito-borne disease to take the world by storm. Although not as deadly of a disease as malaria, Zika infection has been linked to devastating birth defects in newborns (e.g., microcephaly) and a rare disorder of the immune system (Guillan-Barre syndrome). Vaccines and therapeutics to prevent and treat Zika and many other mosquito-borne diseases are not available. Thus, the only universal avenue for limiting their spread is to control the mosquitoes that transmit the diseases. We are working towards novel, improved ways to control mosquitoes We are an integrative team of students and researchers in the Department of Entomology at the Ohio State University attempting to 1) better understand the biology of mosquitoes to identify new mechanisms for disrupting the mosquito life cycle, 2) discover and develop effective, environmentally-friendly insecticides for mosquito control with novel mechanisms of action, and 3) monitor mosquito populations and the diseases they harbor to reveal what mosquito-borne threats are lurking, identify where mosquito control efforts need to be focused, and prepare for the next emerging mosquito-borne threat to public health. Your donation will expedite progress We ask for you to please join our team and support the efforts of our student researchers who are working towards better mosquito control. Your generous donation will provide key supplies, materials, and reagents necessary for students to advance their work. Please check back for updates on their projects and thank you for your support!

Send OSU Powerlifting to the World Stage

By Sean Moser

This year, OSU Powerlifting delivered an outstanding National performance. Now, the team faces its biggest challenge yet: the international stage in Belarus!

This year, OSU Powerlifting delivered an outstanding National performance. Now, the team faces its biggest challenge yet: the international stage in Belarus! Although founded in 2012, 2015-16 was the inaugural year of the Powerlifting Club being an official club sport here at Ohio State. With this unique privilege, the Powerlifting Club set it’s sights on the Collegiate National Championship held in Providence, Rhode Island. This championship, held every April, is where over 600 college athletes representing over 60 schools come together for a shot at claiming a years worth of bragging rights as the “strongest school in the country.” After countless meetings and thousands of hours of training, 31 of OSU’s best lifters made the 12-hour drive to Rhode Island to show case their strength over 2 days of competition. After the dust had settled, OSU men’s team came in 2nd and OSU women’s team came in 4th. Overall, the team combined for a second place finish! The men’s second place finish was good enough to earn a bid to compete for the first ever <a href="http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/about-ipf/welcome.html">IPF Collegiate World Cup</a> held in Minsk, Belarus! In order to truly understand the magnitude of this meet, it is important to understand just how elite IPF meets are. 99% of powerlifters will never have the chance to lift in an IPF meet, as they are reserved for the world’s best athletes. From a club standpoint, this is by far the largest stage we have ever been on. Furthermore, this is likely the largest stage any club sport from OSU has ever been on. We don’t take the task of representing Ohio State or the United States lightly! OSU coach, John Downing, accepted the bid and selected the eight strongest pound for pound lifters to represent OSU Powerlifting at Worlds. Be on the look out for updates, which will include videos/bios of these eight so you can get a true understanding of just how important this competition is to each and every member! The team will be traveling half way around the world in July and we want you to come along on this journey! Again, be on the lookout for updates as we post our story on here and we hope you will support us as we compete for a world championship in Belarus! Make sure to check out the "updates" tab above to see what's currently going on!

K-12 Engineering Outreach Program 2017

By The Ohio State University

Since 2008, Ohio State’s K-12 Engineering Outreach program has inspired thousands of children toward Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Since 2008, Ohio State’s K-12 Engineering Outreach program has inspired thousands of children toward Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Hi, folks! This crowdfunding is over , but you can still donate! Just click <a href="https://www.giveto.osu.edu/makeagift/?Source_Code=DEV_AG-0-BuckeyeFunder-ON-S&fund;=311261">here</a>. Here is what we are about: Since 2008, engineering students at The Ohio State University have visited K-12 classrooms, libraries, and summer camps to get kids excited about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Volunteers bring all the materials on site, at no cost to the teacher. The program focuses on underserved communities. The projects are designed to be cheap - really cheap - because it’s important for a kid to build something and then take it home. Each project demonstrates the application of different scientific principles, guiding children as they learn to build a working widget. The labs, all designed by Ohio State students, typically cost between $1 and $2 per kid - but our favorite, the paper speaker, is less than a dollar! The good news: Your contribution of $25 allows one entire classroom to build speakers and keep them. They really work! Just connect it to your mp3 player, phone, or computer. Ohio State’s K-12 Engineering Outreach program has now visited over 90 schools and more than 65 libraries, camps, after-school programs, and the like. To date, its roster of 250 engineering student volunteers has reached more than 13,500 children. The program has also won the Ohio State University Outreach and Engagement Award, the Distinguished Service Award, the College of Engineering Outreach Award, the Women in Engineering Faculty Award for Outreach and Engagement, and the Faculty Diversity Excellence Award. Program assistant, Clayton Greenbaum, even won the university’s Distinguished Diversity Enhancement Award, as well as the Marian Wright Edelman Education Award. It occurred to us, "Maybe people might want to help." Then we thought, "How can we make it easy for them to do that?" The result? Welcome to our Crowdfunding page.

African American Heritage Festival 2017

By Christopher S. Travers

The heritage festival is a celebration of the narratives, traditions, and histories that contribute to the African and African American experience!

The heritage festival is a celebration of the narratives, traditions, and histories that contribute to the African and African American experience! The African American Heritage Festival (AAHF) is a weeklong celebration of the narratives, traditions, and histories that contribute to the African and African American (AFAM) experience! There are a number of programs that take place throughout the festival. Although some programs change year-to-year based on student needs, some staple programmatic categories include spirituality, community dialogue, spoken word-artistic expression, a variety show, and closing celebration. In addition to the events that occur throughout the week, there are also initiatives offered that engage the Ohio State University (OSU) student community in service learning and mentorship of the next generation of Buckeyes. For example, the OSU Reads Program collaborates with local elementary schools to promote literacy. In addition to OSU Reads, the AAHF awards scholarships to graduating seniors during the week of the festival as a means of promoting the importance of attending college. Scholarship recipients are invited to events during the festival to build excitement and participation in college life. These events continue to have a powerful impact on the student leaders who plan the festival, the AFAM community, and the extended OSU community. The African American Heritage festival continues to be a strong program that has a far-reaching impact. The festival is necessary because it provides a unique educational opportunity that considers the cultural nuances of Black identity. It has an indirect impact on retention and attrition of AFAM students, and contributes to the global diversity of OSU. Student feedback supports these notions. Some direct quotes from our assessments include, “Good food, great music...Great crowd and a lot of participation...I encourage programs like this and would love to see them continue long in to the future” and “Great festivities, definitely a staple in the African American community.” As we anticipate the historic milestone of the fortieth anniversary of the AAHF, the next two years of programming and development are critical. Preparation for an event of this magnitude will require a more significant level of planning and execution, therefore, in addition to the AAHF student leaders, this undertaking necessitates the involvement of a multitude of key stakeholders and support from donors! We anticipate bringing in nationally recognized performers and speakers, student leaders who helped found the festival, as well as other students who were integral in developing the African American student experience at OSU as we know it today. Any support you can offer will help us continue to build community, increase our visibility, engage more students, and expand the overall impact of the African American Heritage Festival! 2016 marks 38 years for the Annual African American Heritage Festival! This coming festival will center around the word "Mshikamano," which is the Swahili word for Solidarity! The theme, Hand in hand, we stand, will be incorporated throughout the week of the festival! We invite all of The Ohio State University and community members to join us for our annual celebration. This eight day festival is presented by the Student Life Multicultural Center and co-sponsored by Office of Student Life, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Student Activity Fee, The Ohio State University Alumni Association, Inc., Black Student Association, and Coca-Cola, student organizations and hall councils at The Ohio State University. Join us for the 38th Annual African American Heritage Festival, Friday, April 3 - 9th, 2016. Please check the updates tab and our website for details regarding the festival and a breakdown of each program. <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001vRe-KTCQymLpBTL2eJp75Ev6SNpG_ON4LnOzvpDEnSufHmaUDlNzSDKK-YsqEb-qdWAEoBRIBhlKAFh37zMKeOkrmtJzAsMm4J53pTV-MW4IRpwPyPzVazPkAkvfPeMTbwsGHgfyT2trburbnhvqb7zGYa_IEPkLZR_nTBkjI31Y7caKumhzuw==&c=PRfZsKoTTaMcR5b09WrUHQYkn_mA2THIFcQb_pt6jlTngmWlHtKQZw==&ch=c5ECRYXu1qrYYc6uuoIqOqBv6O9el2Ig2MY0ghZ-5zgE3A7m7Bs3_A==">heritagefestival.osu.edu</a>

Women's History Month

By Taylor Cornelius

Do your part in empowering the women at The Ohio State University during Women's History Month.

Do your part in empowering the women at The Ohio State University during Women's History Month. Women Student Initiatives (WSI) within the Student Life Multicultural Center is committed to promoting gender equity by raising awareness of women’s issues, developing women’s leadership, and celebrating women who challenge, motivate and inspire. In alignment with these goals, we offer student-focused programming to strengthen individuals and student organizations on Ohio State’s campus. Large events hosted by Women’s Student Initiatives in the past include Brunch with Brenda Drake, featuring The Ohio State University’s First Lady and other on-campus and off-campus women leaders, and Laci Green’s Best Sex Ever presentation, exploring healthy sexual exploration on a college campus. The Women’s Student Initiatives Leadership Cohort is comprised of undergraduate students who help to coordinate programs throughout the year, including Women’s Center Wednesdays (WCW). Every first and third week of the month, WSI holds Women’s Center Wednesdays programs which aim to be meaningful and impactful for women and allies on campus. The purpose of these programs is to encourage discussion and support for women's rights and freedoms in the fight for equity. To broaden the sphere of influence, WSILC regularly collaborates with First Year Success Series, Buckeye Leadership Fellows and the Multicultural Center’s Programming Staff. The most anticipated programming by the Women’s Student Initiatives Leadership Cohort is done for the university-wide celebration of Women’s History Month. Key events during Women’s History Month include The Vagina Monologues, Girls Day and Women’s Summit. This year’s theme for Women’s History Month is PowHERful. The programming aims to empower the women on Ohio State’s campus, proving to themselves and the world around them that they have the capacity to be extraordinary. Through your generous contributions, Women’s Student Initiatives will be able to reach a greater number of buckeye women per year with increased and more influential programming.

Exploring the Past to Predict the Future

By George Grant

Supporting a Campaign to Investigate Future Climate in the Arctic

Supporting a Campaign to Investigate Future Climate in the Arctic We have been given the unique opportunity to join a group of scientists from colleges and museums in the United States and Canada to visit an important site in the Canadian Arctic. The Ohio State University has initiated this crowdfunding mechanism as an alternate mechanism for raising funds. We are using this platform to try to raise enough money to allow a graduate student to conduct research in pursuit of this degree. <a href="http://research.bpcrc.osu.edu/~grant.538/George_Grant/Welcome.html">George Grant</a> is a graduate student in the <a href="http://earthsciences.osu.edu">School of Earth Sciences</a> and a researcher at the <a href="http://bpcrc.osu.edu">Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center</a> at the Ohio State University. George is going to join this expedition in July (2016) to collect samples to find out exactly what the environment was like in the Arctic under conditions that are forecast for the next 75 years. George is going to use the past to predict the future! But George needs your help. Travel to the Canadian Arctic is very expensive, especially for an American scientist. We’re trying to raise money to make get George on the airplane! Please consider making a donation to George’s crowdfunding campaign. Check out our <a href="http://research.bpcrc.osu.edu/projects/eppf/">project webpage</a> to learn more! The Science Behind the Story: The effects of predicted global climate warming is difficult to visualize because it is unprecedented within the timeframe of humanity’s existence on Earth. However, our planet has already experienced atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperature that is predicted for the next century, during a period known as the Pliocene, 5.3 - 2.5 million years ago. Pliocene atmospheric CO2 was 400 parts per million (ppm; it’s 397 ppm today) and global temperature was 2-3 °C warmer than today. By examining geologic deposits from the past, we are able to take a peek at what the future Earth might look like. So far, Pliocene deposits point toward a world where climate zones are shifted northerly, so much so that the barren and frigid high Arctic becomes densely vegetated and more similar to boreal forest ecosystems. We have located the most northerly site in North America where ancient forest remains are being exposed by a retreating glacier. This site is full of mummified trees, leaves, insects, nuts, and seeds. All of these fossils exist in a mummified state (they have not turned to petrified material) which allows us the rare opportunity to investigate climate signals preserved in wood whereas these same signals would have been destroyed during petrification. We will use climate information revealed by this Pliocene forest site to predict what sort of changes to climate might be expected in the next 100 years. We will be using forest remains from the past to predict what sort of changes might occur in the future. George is scrambling to get ready for his expedition but he needs your help to ensure that he can participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity. Please consider supporting him.
